About our Foundation
The O'Leary Foundation is a philanthropic organization dedicated to the support of programs in human services, education and health care initiatives that offer significant, potential support for individual development and community enhancement.
The foundation was started by Muriel & Bob O'Leary's five children after Muriel passed away in April, 2002 and then Bob, just 15 months later in July, 2003.
Muriel's career as a Registered Nurse spanned over 36 years. She then continued her work in serving her community as a County Commissioner for the next 16 years. Bob's career as a teacher and coach lasted for 15 years. Bob then went on to become a top salesman in the mobile home industry selling furniture and carpet for the next 25 years. They weren't wealthy, but they were powerful, they had a voice! They taught us how to be strong and help people, to be part of the solution, and part of the CHANGE. The biggest lesson was how to love your neighbor, even if you didn't know them.
Every year we now hold an annual fundraiser called "A Night Out with Muriel and Bob" to continue their legacy of community service. This year, we are doing everything we can to have a successful year and we need your help! We have updated our auction systems to allow both an in person and virtual event.
