All-Star Keystone Band members Murray Ridge “50 Acts of Giving Back” success
At the beginning of
2017, to celebrate its
50th anniversary, Murray
Ridge set out to complete
at least “Fifty Acts of
Giving Back” to the com-
munity that has supported
its provision of lifelong
services to thousands of
local residents with de-
velopmental disabilities.
This initiative, whereby
members of the Murray
Ridge family would ‘give
back’ through at least fif-
ty acts of helping to meet
needs in Lorain County,
was wildly successful.
By the end of last year,
213 Acts of Giving Back
