sponsor spotlight
From grandparents, to school teachers, to WHS alumni and to friends and family, your giving has enabled One Tiger to begin several new initiatives in addition to our Ready to Read = Ready to Succeed activities, many of which are highlighted toward the end of this page.
From time to time, we think it appropriate to shine the sponsor spotlight on those folks who have demonstrated the One Tiger Spirit in their support of our work in Massillon.
We want to especially thank Mr. Harold "Chip" Painter and Harry W. Forgan, Ph.D.
Chip Painter is a successful business executive with Midwestern Industries. One of Massillon's major employers and long an innovative manufacturer in the screening and sizing industry, Midwestern has grown to service customers worldwide. Mr. Painter and his wife, Lisa, a local educator, not only provided major support for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, but also made a special gift to assure that One Tiger could help shore up our elementary school's need for appropriately sized Covid-19 face coverings for our youngest students. Thanks to the Painter's, we were able to supply 500 One Tiger logo face coverings when they were most needed.
Dr. Harry Forgan, now Professor Emeritus at the University of Miami, FL, enjoyed a long career helping young children learn to read. His work was focused on teaching reading methods to those who would become elementary or special-education teachers themselves. He authored books used in more than 100 universities as well as one recommended by the American Library Association, Help Your Child Learn to Read. Recognized by the WHS Alumni Association as one of Massillon's Distinguished Citizens in 2019, Dr. Forgan said, "I loved growing up in Massillon. All this began when I was born in Massillon City Hospital on 9/21/1942 @ 5:08pm! The love of Tiger Town and the SPIRIT of Tigers are in my HEART FOREVER!"
I know many in Tiger Nation share this same One Tiger Spirit. Please support our special cause in helping our "pre-alums"... Ready to Read = Ready to Succeed.
we're true to thee
