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.

Joining forces for a PAK Partnership at the 5th Annual March Forward Fundraising Event showed the massive impact local like-minded organizations make when they come together!

OSAO set a goal in December of 2024 to raise $10,000 for this organization. Given the response from sponsors, donors as well as local supporters, we were able to collectively hit this donation goal for April 2025. Our donation will provide 275 well-child exams for local Northeast Ohio children who utilize their service & facility.

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!

We are thrilled to share that our community of supporters continues to grow, enabling us to enhance our impact locally. Thanks to the success of the 4th Annual Golf Outing Fundraiser, where we set a goal to raise funds for 250 SnackPAK Backpacks, we surpassed expectations and were able to donate 325!

Each backpack was filled with essential supplies—crayons, markers, colored pencils, folders, glue sticks, baby wipes, tissues, and snacks
