Chuck Stone, or “Stoney” as many knew him, was a helper. Whether it was coaching football and track at Bucyrus High School or leading a team of volunteers in building the press box at the Bucyrus High School Football stadium, you could always find him helping. Upon his untimely passing, many talked about how kind Stoney was to those he met. His students, current and former, teaching colleagues, teammates, and community members who knew him well, all agree that Chuck’s kindness was something that defined him.

Stoney’s Kindness Fund was started as a means to help children in the Bucyrus City Schools who may be facing similar challenges to those that Chuck faced growing up. The goal of this fund is to provide financial support directly to these children through the Community Foundation for Crawford County and the Bucyrus City Schools.

Funds, which will be dispersed to the district annually prior to the start of each new school year, will be used to help purchase items like school supplies, clothing, and personal hygiene items. The funds could also be used to help pay class fees, purchase needed sporting equipment, and any other items deemed necessary by Bucyrus City Schools’ social workers and school counselors to help Bucyrus children succeed.

Our goal by the end of 2022 is to secure Stoney’s Kindness Fund an endowment fund with the Community Foundation for Crawford County. The fund currently sits at approximately $16,000, and a total of $9,000 in additional contributions are needed to bring the fund’s balance to $25,000 and make it an endowment fund. This will ensure Stoney’s Kindness Fund will be able to help Bucyrus children for generations to come.
