Community Links:
Some links of interest to the Northridge area are posted in the panel at the right (see the red buttons under "Community Links"). One of these is for the Northridge Alumni Bear Facts website published by the Northridge Alumni Association. One good way to show support of the community is to patronize the alumni businesses listed on their website: www.northridgealumni.org/id11.html The alumni website also offers an interesting history of the Northridge Community called "From Ebenezer to Northridge" by Richard D. Allen on this link: http://www.northridgealumni.org/id68.html
Be sure to visit the Northridge Alumni Bear Facts website to keep up with Northridge alumni news and events in the community.

The Northridge Polar Bear Foundation Fund:
• As the new school year begins the club will be evaluating requests for Northridge Polar Bear Foundation Fund grants for the fall cycle of the 2022-2023 school year. There will be two grant cycles during the year, with a total of $4500 to $5000 to be granted for programs that enhance the educational opportunities for Northridge students. An amount of $5408 was awarded during the 2021-2022 school year.
• The Northridge Polar Bear Foundation Fund is a fund administered by The Dayton Foundation for providing grants that support educational enhancements for Northridge students (K-12). The Northridge Optimist Club donated money to help start this fund, and has continued to support the fund. In an effort to keep the program funded, the Northridge Optimist Club and The Dayton Foundation are seeking donors to help sustain the kind of support that enriches the educational experience for the students. We are reaching out to friends of the Northridge Optimist Club, Northridge alumni, area businesses, and community members to help support these efforts for the coming school year, and beyond. See the Polar Bear Donation page to learn how you can help.
