Amos Foundation Fund
The Amos Family carries a long history in Central New York. Owners of flour mills and a brick factory in the late-1800s, the family built the now Nationally Historic Amos Building, which sits on Water Street in downtown Syracuse. In addition, one family member – Jacob Amos – served as Mayor of Syracuse in 1892. Family members transferred the Amos Foundation to this fund to simplify their giving and perpetually continue their family’s support of the region in honor of its Central New York heritage. |

William Johnson Memorial Fund
William was born in 1995 with a rare life threatening congenital heart
defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Due to surgery
complications he was severely handicapped, non-verbal, and required many
services in the form of therapies and special education. Sadly, at
the age of 12, William's heart could no longer keep up with the
demands of his growing body and he passed away. An annual autumn
Run/Walk was established in his memory with proceeds going to the
William Johnson Memorial Fund. The fund will provide an annual
scholarship to a Baldwinsville senior pursuing a degree in the field
of special education, physical therapy, speech pathology, occupational
therapy, music therapy or vision therapy. The fund will also benefit
the Upstate Golisano Childrens Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care
Unit.

Marc Murray Memorial Fund
After a seven-year battle with leukemia, Marc Murray of Tully passed away at the young age of 27 in February 2011. Marc’s doctors painted a bleak picture at the time of his diagnosis in 2004, giving him less than a five-percent chance of survival. Nevertheless, Marc persevered and was able to return home and establish a successful career in internet and search engine strategy operations. Although his cancer returned in 2008 and he underwent a Bone Marrow Transplant, Marc never lost his fighting spirit or sense of humor. Marc’s life was not defined by his illness, but by his indomitable spirit. It was that spirit that inspired his family to establish this fund in his memory to support the needs of other young adults battling terminal illness. |

Peddler Foundation
In 1902, Philip Roth immigrated from Lithuania to Syracuse, New York, where, with few resources, he established himself as a “peddler” of various goods. He worked tirelessly to develop a business that would enable his entire family to join him in the United States. Mr. Roth ultimately grew his efforts into two well-established local companies - Roth Steel and Roth Brothers Smelting. Philip Roth was a Central New York philanthropist, not because he sought prestige, but because he wanted to contribute meaningfully to his new community and further shape its growth. Philip Roth’s granddaughter, Philippe Schwimmer, and her husband Jeremy used their private foundation to create this fund to continue their family’s legacy of giving. |
