“I Can't Help Myself.”

“I can’t help myself.”

Walker Area Community Foundation 2015 Annual Report

We live to help others. We volunteer to make a difference. We serve to make our world a better place.

We give because ... we can’t help ourselves. Emily Byars is no stranger to our community. As a teacher, she taught many of our young adult leaders of today. Retired now, “Mrs. Byars” still loves to hear stories of students reaching their dreams. She writes, texts, calls and chats with former students giving encouragement and advice. Emily has a great love for those around her because of her strong faith. She speaks of God’s love at every opportunity, which has been numerous times over the last few months. • Our community lost one of our pillars of business and community stewardship when her husband, Steve

Byars, passed away late in 2015. Steve saw his role in Jasper as that of a steward and gave selflessly to his community. He was involved in numerous civic organizations “I can’t help myself when it comes to educating the youth of our community.” in Walker County. • Together, they accomplished great things in the lives of others.

Emily once promised a third-grade student that if he stayed in school and graduated with good grades, she would help him go to college. Steve honored her promise, and that young man is presently a student at Auburn University. • Emily is committed to continuing the pursuit of impacting the lives of her neighbors in need. Along with her children, Jill, John and Rebekah, Emily started the Steve Byars Fund at the Community Foundation. Steve lived knowing that being humble means that we are not on this earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others. His family is no different. Walker Area Community Foundation The year 2015 marked our 20th year as a Community Foundation.

Component Funds Donors who want to endow their passion and provide endless support to charitable causes may choose to establish a component fund.

Component funds allow an advisory committee to focus on the charitable needs of our community and leave the administrative tasks to the foundation. These funds are a permanent source of community capital which will help the foundation to continue its work today and far into the future.

Behind each fund is an abundance of success stories, so many that we cannot possibly fit them on one page. You can see, however, that there are family funds and organizational funds. Each one holds its own purpose and history but gains strength from being managed together. Donations can be made to any fund at any time. Ann Trotter has dedicated her life to children’s health. From 32 years as a swim coach and water safety instructor to 38 years of physical fitness education, Ann has influenced literally thousands of students. A longtime physical education teacher at T.R.

Simmons Elementary School, Ann has worked for years to develop strong exercise habits in her students. From Whales Tales (a swimming and water safety program for students) to Jump Rope for Heart, which incorporates many diverse and innovative activities into her curriculum, Ann has varied her curriculum over the years to touch on things that students enjoy doing. • Ann realized her PE curriculum needed a boost, and when the Healthy Eating

Active Living (HEAL) program was offered, she accepted without hesitation. HEAL is a “When it comes to giving back to my community, I can’t help myself.” nonprofit organization that strives to improve children’s health measurably and reverse the growing epidemic of preventable diseases and childhood obesity. While the main focus is to improve children’s health, HEAL’s field of impact is far greater. HEAL motivates children and their families to adopt healthier lifestyles by eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of pure water and exercising daily. • Ann was recently named the Alabama State

HEAL Hero, selected first among more than 100 other teachers across the state that implement HEAL into their school curriculum. She is celebrated for implementing the HEAL curriculum with passion, leading by example and transforming children’s lives and those of their families over to better health. • Ann Trotter and HEAL are both heroes in our book.

Because of the foundation … Backyard Blessings is able to give food to hungry children every weekend of the school year in Walker County.

Leneda Jones, Backyard Blessings Scott Thornley Growing up in Jasper, Scott Thornley always knew he wanted to follow in his dad’s footsteps at Maddox, Thornley and

Sanders. A gifted attorney, Scott can tell you at any given moment what property is being sold in our community, making him an important player in the economic development of Walker County. His compassionate, yet logical mind made him an obvious choice to hold a seat on the Jasper City Schools board, chair the

Arc of Walker County’s Board of Directors, serve on Main Street Jasper’s Economic

Vitality Committee, and many other nonprofits throughout our county. • Scott loves all his charitable work, but serving the Walker Area Community Foundation “If it needs funding … I can’t help myself; I have to find a way to make it happen” leads the list. His time reviewing grants for the foundation over the last several y e a r s , and now as our newest board member, has created in him an appreciation for the strength of our nonprofit sector. Committing the next decade of his life to serving as an advisor for this foundation was an easy decision for Scott because he knows he will assist in molding our future. • His wife, Bess, and two little girls Margaret and Elizabeth are the loves of his life. He strongly believes that through his work with this foundation, he can help make

Walker County better for them. Walker Area Community Foundation has become a part of the very fabric of Scott’s life, and for that, we are grateful. By the Numbers Financial Summary

*Returns are calculated net of fees Greg and Lindsey Kilgore They could be anywhere using their talent, but Greg and Lindsey have chosen Walker County as their home. Black Rock, their restaurant, is a name synonymous with first-class food served in a trendy, colorful location. • From Oakman to

Hoover, the Kilgores have strong, southern roots in Alabama. Both graduates of Culinard, they have trained with an extensive and impressive résumé of chefs from Birmingham while in school and then in New Orleans. Then Hurricane Katrina hit. • The Kilgores moved back to Oakman to regroup. They took odds jobs, including painting and even renovating a bathroom. One day while apartment hunting, they drove by an empty restaurant, and the For Rent sign caught their eye. They mortgaged their cars and everything they could think of, received a small loan from “Cooking is our passion, and we can’t help ourselves when it comes to cooking for those in need.” the only bank that would look at them, and Black Rock was born. Seven years later, at their new downtown location, the accolades are pouring in from national magazines to local Facebook comments. • Greg and Lindsey love food and look for opportunities to share what they love.

Last year, their church, Hope House Church, did not have a church building, but bought a food truck to serve their community. The Kilgores got behind that idea. Together, they deliver healthy, scrumptious, free meals to those in need. They hand out food at local housing authorities, senior citizen centers, thrift stores and other locations where people are served. Food is a great way to get people to open up and talk so the gospel can be shared. Through Black Rock and the Hope House Food Truck, Greg and Lindsey not only feed the body but the spirit as well.

Abbie Drummond Walker Area Community Foundation Board Member Letter From Our Chairman

The Walker Area Community Foundation works daily to improve the quality of life for the people of Walker County and the surrounding area. Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and helped by you our stakeholders, this foundation impacts educational, cultural, civic, public and other charitable needs of the Walker County area making great strides toward a better future.

The Community Foundation is here to stay. We invest in the present to secure the future for my children, your children and all future generations. Forever, we will award grants to make an impact, lead to further our community and provide a conduit for your gifts to collectively make a difference.

Humans have an innate desire to help others. For many of us there is never enough time or money to individually answer the almost overwhelming needs of our community. Needs that only a combined effort can meet. Because of this foundation you do not have to go it alone. Together, we can take on those seemingly overwhelming tasks that are beyond most individuals. We all love our communit y … we can’t help ourselves.
