R.E.B. Foundation
Rudolph Bunzl, retired Chairman and CEO of American Filtrona Corporation, and his wife Esther, a community leader, began working with the Community Foundation in 1987 to develop the R.E.B. Awards for Teaching Excellence as a way to promote and improve public education. In 1988, they converted their private foundation into the first supporting organization of the Community Foundation. This partnership was enhanced by the creation of the R.E.B. Awards for Distinguished Educational Leadership, which recognizes outstanding public-school principals. In addition to funding the R.E.B. Awards programs, the R.E.B. Foundation makes annual grants to support other educational programs, as well as cultural and social service programs.

The R.E.B. Awards for Teaching Excellence provides opportunities for area public school teachers to continue their own love of learning as they pursue adventures of a lifetime. Thank a teacher by nominating them today!

They are the leaders that engage and motivate the community to build a culture that nurtures students and brings more resources to support to their school.
