Havar wins statewide honor
The Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations (OANO) has announced that Havar Inc. is the most recent Ohio nonprofit, and the first from southeast Ohio, to achieve "Standards for Excellence". Havar was recognized May 10th at the third annual Ohio Nonprofit Excellence Award luncheon attended by more than 250 nonprofit executive, leaders and legislators at the Ohio Statehouse. Havar joins only 25 nonprofits in Ohio to achieve the "Standards" certification.
"It takes great dedication to undergo the certification process, "said Jennifer Williams, OANO's executive director. "We are proud to give the honor to Havar Inc. Their work shows the commitment they have to those who benefit from their programs, their contributors and to the public."
The "Standards" program was created in 1995 with grants from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Shortly after the formation of the trial program in Maryland, Ohio was selected to participate. There are more than 600 participating agencies and organizations.

Lets Pull Together
The Hocking Valley Scenic Railway and Havar Inc. hosted the first of its kind event on August 18, 2007. Teams of twenty people picked up a rope tied to 270 TONS OF TRAIN and pulled it 12 feet in a timed competition. Havar is totally grateful to the Ohio University Hockey Team and the Federal Hocking High School Lady Lancers Volley Ball teams and dozens of other wonderful people who pulled together to make it one of the most fun and successful fund raising events for the people we serve.
