About Ron and Joan Burbick:

Ron and Joan Burbick and the Burbick Foundation have been essential partners to many non-profit organizations in Portage County including the Kevin Coleman Foundation, Robinson Memorial Hospital and the Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation, Leadership Portage County, Family and Community Support Services, Children’s Advocacy Center, and the Animal Protective League.

In giving of their time, talent, and treasure, Ron and Joan have hosted and planned the Right at Home event for the Kevin Coleman Foundation. Ron serves on the boards of the Kevin Coleman Foundation and the Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation, and serves as board chair for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Portage County. Beyond the local area, Ron is serving as co-chairman of a $15 million capital campaign for his alma mater, Alderson-Broaddus College in West Virginia.

With a strong belief in leadership and volunteer opportunities in Portage County, Ron helped to create Leadership Portage County and the Burbick Foundation founded the Youth Leadership Program for high school students. A cause near and dear to Joan’s heart is the availability of services for older adults with Alzheimers and dementia, which led to the building of Burbick at Coleman, housing Coleman Professional Services’ Portage Area Senior Services program.
