Conestoga, the volunteer fundraising organization for the Ohio History Connection, will host its annual fundraiser on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at the Bob Crane Community Center in Upper Arlington from 4—7 p.m. This year’s event will raise funds for the CEO Leadership Fund at the Ohio History Connection. The keynote speaker will be Columbus resident and noted Historian Doreen Uhas Sauer. Delightful hors d’oeuvres, desserts and drinks and raffles for outstanding packages round out the event.

As Conestoga celebrates its 40th anniversary, its work has never been more important. The Ohio History Connection faces significant challenges caused by reduced funding and climbing costs. By raising funds for the CEO Leadership Fund, Conestoga will help Executive Director and CEO Megan Wood meet urgent operational needs.
