YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Greg and Alice Greenwood have made a $50,000 donation to the Kilcawley: Centered on the Future campaign at Youngstown State University.
The gift is part of a larger $150,000 contribution from the Greenwoods to support two key initiatives at YSU. The contribution includes $100,000 to support renovations at the Beeghly Center.
The $50,000 donation will directly support the renovation and modernization of Kilcawley Center. The campaign aims to create innovative, collaborative spaces for students, fostering an environment of creativity and community-building.
“We are incredibly grateful to Greg and Alice Greenwood for their continued support of YSU,” YSU President Bill Johnson said. “This generous donation will help make Kilcawley Center an even more dynamic and welcoming place for our students, providing them with the spaces they need to thrive both academically and socially.”
The Greenwoods’ contribution to Beeghly honors Greg Greenwood’s longtime administrative assistant, Sperry Rongone, by naming the Sperry Rongone Women’s Basketball Lounge in her honor.
The Greenwoods are also recognized for their longstanding support of YSU through two significant endowments: the Greg and Alice Greenwood STEM Scholarship Endowment and the Greg and Alice Greenwood Endowment for the Excellence Training Center. In 2021, they also donated a Chevy Bolt to YSU, which is used by staff during visits to local high schools and businesses to promote YSU’s academic programs.
Through their total giving of $551,658, the Greenwoods have achieved membership in YSU’s 1908 Society, one of the university’s most prestigious giving circles.
Greg and Alice Greenwood are the owners of Greenwood Chevrolet, with dealerships in Austintown and Hubbard.
