Positive Acts of Kindness

The Positive Acts of Kindness aka (PAK), allows One Step Ahead Ohio to provide strategic donations to support local individuals, families & organizations within the community. These donations are facilitated to the community through PAK Day, PAK Hardship & PAK Partnership donations. The PAK initiative is constantly adapting to keep pace with the ever-changing needs of the local communities.

We’re proud to announce that because of your support, we were recently able to donate $5,000 to Breakthrough Public Schools! BPS is a network of top rated, tuition free, public charter schools right here in Cleveland, OH.

Their mission is to provide access to excellent education, empowering every child regardless of zip code, with the tools to succeed!

At OSAO, we believe in building stronger communities through opportunity, and supporting Breakthrough means investing in Cleveland’s future leaders. We’re honored to play a small part in their powerful work!

April 2026 PAK Donation.... One of the organizations benefiting from our 6th Annual March Forward Fundraiser is Providence House Crisis Nursery w/ a $10,000 donation.

Providence House works to keep kids safe and families together by providing free, voluntary emergency shelter and care for children 0-12 when their families are experiencing a crisis.

Along with caring for children in a safe environment, they support parents with resources and guidance to help stabilize their families and prevent foster care placements.

2025 Teacher Wishlist Grant

We’re thrilled to share that in 2025 we were able to donate a grand total of $10,200.27 through our PAK Teacher Wish List Initiative!

This would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors, donors and the businesses who supported our Annual Golf Outing. Because of you, teachers across Northeast Ohio received supplies to better support their classrooms and students!
