AARON BROWN

A Canton native, Aaron Brown has been involved in the not-for-profit world most of his life.  As a youth, Aaron’s father was the Executive Director of the American Cancer Society where Aaron spent many hours volunteering with specific projects, programs and events.  It was through these experiences that a foundation of community development was laid.  Aaron’s community development career has ranged from leadership positions within churches in Los Angeles and Ohio to targeted neighborhood revitalization.  Currently, Aaron is the Community Outreach Coordinator with Habitat for Humanity of Great Stark and Carroll Counties.  Within his role he oversees the involvement of volunteers through various opportunities at Habitat.  He also educates the community on the Habitat mission of ending poverty housing through simple, decent and affordable homes. This position allows him to marry his passion for helping people and building solid relationships among professionals across civic and non-profit organizations, as well as direct involvement with the community.  Aaron is also an actor, with over 20 years of theatrical and film experience.  He is a Canton resident, a husband of 14 years and a father of 3 boys.  

 

Courtney Brown is a Canton, Ohio native. She attended Baldwin-Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. While completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry, she worked for the ReStore at the Habitat for Humanity of Great Stark and Carroll Counties affiliate. Shortly after graduating, Courtney began working for a health care agency in Cleveland, Ohio.  However, it was during her time as a youth leader and teacher at her church that she felt the desire to help those in need. She spent a couple of years serving families in the Greater Cleveland area as they strived to live better lives. In May 2013, Courtney accepted the job as Family Partnership Director at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Stark and Carroll Counties and has begun working with a great group of staff members and volunteers as they make an effort to create a holistic partnership experience where houses are not just built, but rather homes are created. 

 

As you know, our Canton Rotary Club will be 100 years old in 2015.  What better way to celebrate this monumental milestone than to show your support for The Canton Rotary Charitable Fund.  Your donation will help our continuing commitment to “Service Above Self” with the charitable work that we do.

 

With the centennial celebration, we are looking to raise our profile in the community with some new projects that will not only serve Canton but also raise the profile of The Rotary Club of Canton.  To prepare for this historic event, our club needs your continued support with your annual contribution to The Canton Rotary Charitable Fund.

 

This Charitable fund was established in 1970 to fund our community charitable ventures.  Contributions raised last year helped support some of the following projects:

Help us build our club and support our community.

 

With Kindest regards and thanks,

 

President Elect Paul White
