 A new fund for the Raleigh County Veterans Museum was established by an anonymous donor who was a career veteran of the Navy. The purpose of this fund will be to provide annual income for the organization to be used at their discretion. The Raleigh County Veterans Museum will soon have more room for their extensive collection of artifacts and memorabilia as they relocate to the old State Police Barracks in Beckley. The new Veteran’s Museum will have new displays, a theater, and it will still have the 20-foot-long model West Virginia battleship! “This fund is in support of the Raleigh County Veterans and First Responders Museum. In January 2024 the museum acquired a new facility to relocate. This facility is substantially larger and better equipped, which has allowed for the transformation of the museum. The new museum will not only continue to provide an exceptional display of military equipment and artifacts but will now also include displays associated with first responders such as Police, Fire and EMT.” “The challenge will be great but once completed, the Raleigh County Veterans and First Responders Museum will be a destination place for visitors from all over. Bringing this concept to fruition will require funding and many hours of volunteering.” “Please consider donating to this fund and helping us preserve this history while honoring the memories and artifacts of our nation’s heroes. Thank you for your support.” — Ron Hedrick | President, Raleigh County Veterans Museum The American Legion and Raleigh County Veteran's Museum thank you in advance for your support and the honor you have bestowed by donating to such a worthy cause. God Bless Our Soldiers!

 To create a legacy of service, community contribution, and educational support, the Woodrow Wilson High School Class of 1973 has recently established the “WWHS Class of 1973 Scholarship Fund.” This building over time scholarship fund will support matriculating seniors from WWHS. BAF's "Building Over Time" option allows individuals, families, companies, and organizations to establish a fund with a minimum gift of $2,000, and gradually build it up to the required $10,000 over a five-year period to become fully endowed. This can alleviate the burden of a large up-front cost and give the donor(s) more time to raise money for their fund. “In continuing the tradition of class scholarship funds at BAF, the WWHS Class of 73 is proud to add our class to that list.” — Michael D. Cavendish | Class Representative, WWHS Class of 1973 Anyone interested in donating to this fund may mail contributions with “WWHS 1973” in the memo to BAF, 1210 South Kanawha St., Beckley, WV 25801 or click the button below to donate online.

Established in 2024 with a testamentary gift from Peggy Bo Cook, the “Peggy & Polly Cook Fund” is designated to support the Humane Society of Raleigh County and Hospice of Southern West Virginia. “We are deeply touched and immensely grateful for the generous testamentary gift from Peggy & Polly Cook. This remarkable gesture not only honors the sisters' legacy but also underscores how community support continues to impact organizations like ours. This gift will enable us to continue our mission with renewed vigor, ensuring that our services reach those who need them most during their most vulnerable moments. Because of BAF and the thoughtful donors behind this legacy gift, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve, leaving our own lasting legacy of compassion and care, and continuing to honor Peggy & Polly Cook.” — Janett Green | CEO, Hospice of Southern WV Peggy and Polly Cook were twins who lived in Raleigh County their entire lives and were very passionate about their community. “Peggy and Polly were more than visitors and donors to our shelter; they became part of our shelter family. They always came through the door with smiles on their faces, greeting staff and asking about the cats. Their compassion and concern for our felines were sincere and heartfelt. Their presence in our shelter will definitely be missed.” — India Hosch | Former Vice President and Board Member, Humane Society of Raleigh County Leave a Legacy TodaySome people think they must choose between leaving a gift to their family or their favorite nonprofit organization. You can do both, and some charitable gifts may actually save your family money by decreasing inheritance taxes. A simple gift provision in your will can make a difference in many lives.
“Leave a Legacy” is a way for individuals to leave a charitable bequest to the organizations they value most. All types of nonprofit groups, including social service and arts organizations, churches, hospitals, and educational institutions, can benefit from charitable bequests. BAF has received more than $25 million in gifts as a result of charitable bequests.

Jarrett Memorial Fund" was established in memory of Dr. Thomas W. Jarrett by his children, Allison and Jordan Jarrett. This field of interest fund will provide economic impact with an emphasis on environmental causes. Tom was a 1968 graduate of Greenbrier Military School and went on to WVU for his undergraduate studies. He continued his education in Morgantown at WVU School of Dentistry, graduating in 1975. Following in his father’s footsteps, he decided to pursue a postdoctoral degree in orthodontics, for which he attended St. Louis University. “My dad was a driven person. Driven to make the world around him a better place and to improve the lives of the people he encountered. The world will miss that drive and I will miss my dad.” — Allison Jarrett | Tom’s Daughter In 1977, Tom moved to Beckley and opened his orthodontic practice. He was an active member of the dental community and the Beckley area. He was a member of the American Dental Association and the WV Dental Association, as well as a member of the American Association of Orthodontics and past president of the WV Association of Orthodontics. Tom served on the boards of the New River Dental Society and the Southern Association of Orthodontics. He was a Diplomat of the International College of Dentists and a Diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontics. He was on faculty at the WVU School of Dentistry in the orthodontics department for over 30 years. Tom loved his profession, and teaching orthodontics to students brought him great joy. The influence he had on the dental community was far-reaching. In dentistry and beyond, he was a mentor to many. “The intersection of dad’s heart was his love for the community of Beckley and the deep connection with the outdoors. Whether immersed in nature or brainstorming ways to enhance Beckley's vibrancy, his passion would shine bright. The moments dad spent outside would always invigorate his spirits, as if experiencing it for the first time, always in awe of how it all works together, seeing Beckley’s true gifts. Dad had a knack for turning ordinary things into memorable adventures, always seeming to make his mark. Through this fund, we aspire to honor his legacy of unwavering enthusiasm and dedication to fostering a stronger, more vibrant community. Dad’s memory continues to inspire us, urging us to work together to contribute and nurture the community he cherished. No words, fund, or sum of money can fill the void of his absence, we can only hope to embody his tenacity, dedication, and spirit, aiming to make a lasting impact on the place he loved and fantasized more for.” — Jordan Jarrett | Tom’s Son Tom loved his community and wanted to see it flourish. He was on the board of directors of Beckley Area Foundation, instrumental in building the YMCA Youth Soccer Complex, founder of Citizen Southern Bank, and developer of Brookshire Professional Park. He was involved in starting FORWARD WV for economic development. He was an originator of Chili Night, a volunteer for Mac’s Toy Fund, involved in the Youth Museum, helped design the Peace Totem, started Foster’s Hardware Restaurant, contributed to the F.O.L.K. project and Operation Backpack. He was an advocate and supporter of the Raleigh County Humane Society. “Tom Jarrett was the true spirit of Beckley and Raleigh County, and all of southern West Virginia! His endless enthusiasm, dreams, and desire to make this a better community and a better place to live for all is a testament to his character. Losing Tom was a tremendous blow to our community, although we can take comfort knowing that Tom would want us to continue with the spirit and drive to improve and make our community a better place to live for all!” — John Wooton | Tom’s Friend He was an avid outdoorsman and loved being in nature. Appointed by the governor, he was a DNR commissioner. He loved to fish, hike, golf, and bike. He was a founder of Glade Creek Trout Association, champion of the inaugural Glade Spring’s member-guest, and back-to-back Black Knight club champion. Being a youth sports coach, he impacted countless young people’s lives.
Tom was a devoted father and displayed his love for his children every day. He was proud for his children to be fourth-generation dentists and to carry on the tradition of serving the people of WV continuously since 1901. Thanks to a generous gift provided in the will of Dr. Thomas Jarrett, any donation to this fund will be matched DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, up to $250,000.00 until October 22, 2025 or the match is exhausted. Additional details on this matching opportunity will be announced soon.

Grants will be made annually to support the choirs at the following churches: Beckley Presbyterian Church, Beckley, WV, First Presbyterian Church, Charlottesville, VA, and Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Buffalo, NY. “Music is vital to worship and is itself worship, both in praising God and encouraging people. We very much appreciate the generosity of Charles and Frances Sayre Beasley, and the new memorial choir fund. The Beckley Area Foundation’s work in establishing and managing funds such as this preserves legacies and provides encouragement and help to people.” — Monte Mitchell | Pastor, Beckley Presbyterian Church Dr. Charles A. Beasley was born in Summerlee, WV, in 1934, to Emerson McKinley and Maude (Gwinn) Beasley. Like his father and grandfathers, Charles enjoyed a long and rewarding career in the minerals industry. His achievements spanned the worlds of advanced education, engineering, corporate leadership, the federal government, environmentalism, volunteerism, advocacy, theology, poetry, and loyal friendship. Charles received undergraduate and graduate degrees summa cum laude in Mining & Minerals Engineering from Ohio State University, a Doctorate of Minerals Engineering with a minor in Law from the University of Minnesota, and a Master of Theology from Colgate Rochester Seminary. He was elected to the Engineering Honorary Tau Beta Pi at OSU and was a Phi Sigma Kappa member.
Dr. Beasley held faculty positions at Ohio State, Virginia Tech, the University of Alaska, McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and was an adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines.

His corporate involvements include mining engineering duties at Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. in PA, OH, and WV; Senior Engineer for Dravo Corporation in Denver; Director of Mining for Law Engineering in Atlanta; and Manager of Eastern Mining Operations for Nuclear Utility Services. As a charter member of the Federal Government's Senior Executive Service (SES), Charles helped establish the Office of Surface Mining within the U.S. Department of the Interior, under the Carter and Reagan administrations, to regulate the environmental effects of mining in the United States. As such, Dr. Beasley served as Regional Director for WV, PA, MD, & VA; as Assistant Director in Washington to implement the abandoned mine land reclamation program; and as Special Assistant to the Director, Conservation Division, U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, VA.
