In Memoriam
The Patty Ryan Scholarship Memorial Fund
Patty Ryan, the former CEO/President of The Lakewood Chamber of Commerce, played an integral role in the conception and evolution of the Taste of Lakewood. From its humble beginnings as a small event at the Clifton Club to the food, merchant and music festival it has become, Patty’s vision and passion for Lakewood businesses paved the way. Her dedication and leadership were instrumental in shaping the success of the event, and her legacy will continue to inspire and impact the community she cherished.
As a special tribute to Patty, please consider donating to the Patty Ryan Scholarship Memorial Fund for deserving high school students. Simply fill out the Sponsorship form below and choose the fund under sponsorship level. If you’d like to donate a different amount than those suggested, please contact the Chamber office at 216.226.2900. Thank you.
Patty firmly believed in the importance of supporting not only the current business owners but also nurturing the dreams of young aspiring entrepreneurs. In line with this vision, all proceeds from this fund contribute to the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce scholarship program. Patty’s unwavering commitment to empowering the next generation serves as a lasting testament to her dedication to the community and its future success.
