“This year, Inspiring Minds is proud to celebrate 20 years in the Mahoning Valley,” said Deryck Toles, founder and CEO of Inspiring Minds and a former NFL player. “It’s because of the support of companies and individuals like the DeSalvos that we’re able to continue doing the work and impacting young people.”

“The golf outing is one of our largest fundraisers,” Toles said. “With the funds raised, we’re able to provide academic support, enrichment activities and exposure opportunities to more than 500 young people in the Valley each year.”
Over the past 20 years, Inspiring Minds has provided after-school and summer enrichment programming to thousands of students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
