"I never forget that my own family was the recipient of the kindness of our community's generous support for many generations," says Ken Goldhoff. "It's a privilege to be able to pay it forward." That's why Ken and Carrie Goldhoff chose to join the ArtsWave Visionaries group by making a planned gift, building a legacy that will continue to sustain our vibrant arts community for future generations.

On June 20, the Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council honored the Goldhoffs at the Voices of Giving Awards. For 26 years, this accolade has recognized those who make significant planned gifts to support the long-term impact of local nonprofits.

Ken has been a dedicated supporter of ArtsWave for over 30 years, including a decade of service on the ArtsWave Board. He has chaired various committees, bringing his expertise as senior vice president of wealth management at UBS Financial Services to the table. Equally committed, Carrie has been active in the Lion of Judah Society for over 20 years and has held significant roles within its Women's Philanthropy group. Her love for the arts extends to community theater, which she shares with her family. Ken and Carrie have included ArtsWave in their estate plans by naming it a beneficiary of an annuity contract, hoping to inspire others to consider similar commitments.

Their generosity will support over 150 organizations, artists and projects annually, ensuring that future Cincy generations will continue to benefit from cultural treasures through concerts, exhibits, arts education and events like BLINK^®.
