Footpath Foundation Moves To Lakewood

LAKEWOOD, OH — The Footpath Foundation, a nonprofit, has moved to LaunchHouse Lakewood. Footpath provides outdoor experiences for kids who may not otherwise be able to afford camping trips.

Footpath was founded four years ago. From its inception onward, the nonprofit was operating out of the homes of its board members but is now headquartered on the second floor of LaunchHouse, a co-working space on Detroit Avenue.

“We are thrilled to have a space of our own. We needed this,” said Mary Macias, Footpath's president and CEO.

Footpath currently sends approximately 140 kids, mostly from the inner city, to overnight camps each summer. The organization also provides programming during the school year, as well as equestrian therapy and outdoor experiences.

Todd Goldstein, CEO of LaunchHouse Lakewood, said he hopes small businesses and organizations like Footpath can grow and thrive in his company's space.

“We are so excited to welcome the Footpath Foundation to our family of entrepreneurs,” Goldstein said. “Their mission is critical to the development of Cleveland’s youth, and we are so grateful to be a small part of that by giving their staff a home. They've had such a positive impact on our city and I know they'll continue to do so as they integrate into our community."
