The Ganims’ Legacy

Ron and Joan Ganim touched thousands of lives through education and athletics. Ron, a beloved coach and educator in the Brecksville-Broadview Heights community, believed that every child could be great — not just in sport, but in life.

After Ron’s passing in 2017, the foundation was established to continue that mission. Today, their family leads the effort to support students with integrity, resilience, and heart.
