PREVIEW: One Northside celebrates 10th anniversary

By Sean P. Ray | Managing Editor

NORTH SHORE — Celebrating 10 years of supporting the Northside, The Buhl Foundation’s One Northside initiative gathered at Acrisure Stadium on Feb. 18 to look back at what might be the first half of the organization’s existence and accomplishments, as well as look to what the future may hold.

One Northside was founded in 2014 in order to increase the amount of support the Buhl Foundation was providing toward the Northside, the hometown of Henry Buhl Jr., who established the foundation in 1927 upon his death.

According to Diana Bucco, president of the Buhl Foundation, the organization was only giving about 25% of its support to the Northside in 2014, with 70-75% going toward other regional projects.

“The board thought maybe we could flip that and, in the process, help to ensure the Northside is part of the great transformation that’s happening city-wide,” she said.
