Mercy donates $5,000 to Perrysburg visual art programs
PERRYSBURG – Mercy Emergency and Diagnostic Center recently opened its doors in Perrysburg. Before even
breaking ground, Mercy reached out to Perrysburg Schools art teachers to see if students would loan
their artwork to decorate the new facility. The teachers were excited about this opportunity for
students-from kindergarten to 12th grade-to show their work to the community, and ultimately 25 pieces
were loaned, which Mercy is rotating on display.
To thank the district for this artwork, Mercy is donating $5,000 to the arts programs in the district.

"We are very grateful to Mercy for this generous donation, and for allowing our students’ artwork to
be seen by members of our community," stated Jeff Abke, director of development for Perrysburg
Schools.
