Norman Sandvoss Memorial Fund for Youth Recreation

Creating opportunities for young people to learn, play, and thrive.

Norman W. Sandvoss believed that giving back was an important part of community life. A longtime Portage County attorney and dedicated community volunteer, Norman served on the boards of numerous local organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club, Kent Social Services, and the Portage County Children’s Advocacy Center. His life reflected a commitment to strengthening the community and supporting its residents.
