ProKids named volunteer Amy Russert as its 2018 Merilee Turner Volunteer of the Year, while recognizing the Manuel D. and Rhoda Mayerson Foundation as its Community Builder of the Year recipient. Both have been longtime contributors to the organization.
Since 1981, ProKids has mobilized the Greater Cincinnati community to stem child abuse and neglect. Volunteers advocate for individual children, often in the foster care system, working to move them to safe, nurturing homes.
