Alumnae Spotlight: Mary Gimpel '61
SUA alumna Mary Gimpel '61 was recently awarded the "Enquirer Women of the Year Award!" Mary is known not only as one of the top fundraisers in the area, but also as someone who creates her own extraordinary decorations for fundraising events.

 

A partial list of the organizations that have benefited from her work includes Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Babies Milk Fund, Caracole, Learning Through Art, Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival, Playhouse in the Park, the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Taft Museum of Art. The past six years, many of her efforts have been focused on Cincinnati May Festival and Ohio Citizens for the Arts.

 
"As a lifelong supporter of the arts in general and the May Festival in particular, Mary is a driving force in Cincinnati's arts scene," Steven Sunderman, the festival's executive director, wrote in his nominating letter. "Equally comfortable on the front lines as well as behind the scenes, her tireless devotion to the arts has enabled countless thousands, indeed hundreds of thousands, to experience world-class culture right here in Cincinnati."
