In 1985, Ed Owen spoke at the dedication ceremony for Camp Owen, a facility in Platte River State Park funded by the Owen Foundation. The year marked the 100th anniversary of Paxton & Vierling Steel and the 25th anniversary of the Foundation. Ed took the opportunity to extol the accomplishments of the Foundation to company employees who gathered for the annual picnic.
Since 1985, the Owen Foundation has more than doubled its gifts, and continues to be an active supporter of local non-profits and charities.
Here are just a few examples of organizations we support for their inspiring work in our community:
