The Kaderly Foundation
The Kaderly Foundation is a non-profit organization that was established 2011 in New Franklin, Ohio to honor the memory of a beloved husband, father, Panther Football Coach, Councilman and long time Board of Education member, Rick Kaderly. They do so by awarding three scholarships annually to local students. The Kaderly Foundation also donates items to the youth programs of the area to help enhance the participant’s experience.

Mission Statement
“To continue a tradition of bringing the community together as family through Fellowship, Generosity, and Youth Involvement in the spirit of Richard J. Kaderly”

Scholarships
The first of the two gifts is The Richard J. Kaderly Memorial Scholarship. This is a 4 year renewable $1,000 scholarship that given to a student from Manchester High School who has not only shown excellence in the classroom, but demonstrated leadership amongst their peers and given back to the community that Rick himself gave so much to. The Kaderly Foundation also awards a second. $1,000 scholarship to the Manchester football player that is the recipient of the yearly Rick Kaderly Award. Eligibility to win this honor runs very closely to the same criteria examined in the academic scholarship. They feel that both winners will go on to become difference makers in their community and we are happy to have a small part in recognizing their efforts. A third scholarship with similar criteria will be awarded to a Portage Lakes Career Center student starting in 2015.

Richard J. Kaderly Memorial Scholarship
The Richard J. Kaderly Scholarship committee consist the Kaderly family, members of The Kaderly Foundation, and selected high school staff members. The award of a plaque and a $4,000 scholarship, distributed at $1,000 per year over 4 years, is presented to a member of the senior class at the Senior Awards Banquet. The purpose of the award money is to help defray school expenses for furthering his or her education and money is presented upon evidence of registration at the school of the recipients’ choice.

The recipient should display a genuine respect for others and an active citizenship within the community. The student should have also demonstrated leadership qualities and participated in school activities. Each selected student must have an above average G.P.A. and plan to pursue a degree in higher education by attending a college, university or trade school (a two or four year degree). In addition, they must have a complete application and include a word essay which includes the students’ future community and career aspirations.

Rick Kaderly Award
The Rick Kaderly Award was established by the Manchester Panther Paws in 2011 to honor the memory of Richard J. Kaderly. He was a beloved Panther Football Coach for over 40 years, a New Franklin Councilman and long time member of both the Manchester Board of Education and Portage Lakes Career Center.

The recipient is selected by the Manchester High School football coaches and awarded annually at the Panther Football Banquet. Each award winner has displayed a genuine respect for others, is active within the community, and demonstrated leadership qualities on and off the field. The Kaderly Foundation was so humbled that the Manchester Football program would bestow this posthumous honor on him, that they found it fitting to attach a $1,000 scholarship to the award each year.

Richard J. Kaderly
For over 40 years and for 3 generations of players, Rick Kaderly paced the sidelines for the Panthers, coaching in the high school programs, middle school, and most of all Manchester Youth Football. He served on the Manchester Board of Education for nearly two decades, fifteen of those as President. He was a member of the Portage Lakes Career Center Board of Education, a co-founder of the Manchester Alumni Association, and a Councilman for the City of New Franklin. Like Rick, The Kaderly Foundation is pleased to help the youth of this community in any way that we can. It was a way of life for him and they hope to continue on the path that he showed them.

Passing
Mr. Kaderly passed away of a fatal heart attack on October 16, 2011, directly across from James R. France Stadium in New Franklin, Ohio. It is a stadium that his father laid the block for, but in a town that he, undoubtedly helped to build. Upon hearing of his passing, the Mayor of New Franklin described him as Mr. Manchester, but all he really ever wanted to be known as, was Coach. His viewing and funeral was held at Cornerstone Free Methodist Church in Akron, Ohio due to the large number of those who attended. He is buried in Manchester Cemetery. On the way to his graveside service, the procession stopped to allow the him to take one last trip around Lockhart Field, where he coached for so many years. In a fitting coincidence, the driver recalled that he was a referee for many of the games that Mr. Kaderly coached there.

Kaderly Classic
The Kaderly Classic is an annual golf outing held on a Friday closest to July 25th. All proceeds benefit the Richard J. Kaderly Scholarship Fund. The format is a 4 person scramble with lunch at the turn, followed by a BBQ buffet at the conclusion of play. “Thank You” gifts that total nearly $9,000 are given to each participant and includes hole contests, a skins game, a 50/50 raffle and much more. The outing is hosted by The Kaderly Foundation each year at Raintree Country Club, located at 4350 Mayfair Road in Uniontown.

Heart to Heart Celebration
A Heart to Heart Celebration is a fundraiser hosted by The Kaderly Foundation annually near Valentine’s Day at Raintree Country Club. It is a night full of dueling piano entertainment, a buffet dinner, a full bar, entertainment, games and a silent auction.
