Youngstown CityScape welcomes your support at our 14th annual “Grass Roots Gala”. This year, we are excited and honored to present the David and Pat “Sweet Grass Roots Award” to Reverend Richard Murphy and Ursuline High School. Fr. Murphy’s commitment to Youngstown CityScape has been unwavering since joining our Board 10 years ago. Rev. Murphy and Ursuline are passionate about helping realize our vision of a revitalized downtown, and steadfast in their commitment to building a stronger community. Rev. Murphy and Ursuline High School’s compassion for the people of this Valley is boundless. Ursuline President Fr. Murphy is a partner in CityScape’s community development work in the truest sense – he shares wisdom, cares for us with a tender heart, and provides an example of faith and a humble spirit.

Your sponsorship support of the Grass Roots Gala continues to make this a meaningful and successful event, and we thank you for being part of this celebration. Look around downtown, and you will see the benefits of CityScape’s programs, as we continue to build partnerships and promote projects that foster a sense of place and belonging in the city of Youngstown.

As CityScape looks forward to the next chapter, we see another 27 years of work that brightens downtown, and makes Youngstown welcoming, cleaner and greener. From Planting Day kickoff right through the winter holidays, CityScape’s work has a positive impact on the way our city looks and feels, and touches everyone who lives, works, or visits downtown. We are delighted to celebrate Rev. Richard Murphy and Ursuline High School, thankful for the opportunity to join in each transformative endeavor, and we are deeply appreciative of all the support from businesses and the greater community.
