Working In Neighborhoods (WIN) is proud to recognize the John R. Jurgensen Company as a 2025 Hall of Fame Honoree at The Homes That Hope Built: Building Futures celebration on Thursday, October 30, at the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati.
John R. Jurgensen Co. has a history of investing in South Cumminsville. In 2014, the company donated the materials for the Wayne Ballfields walking trail, giving residents and families a safe place for exercise and community connection. More recently, during the winter of 2024, company volunteers from Jurgensen’s J-Do Days service initiative joined forces with WIN to demolish a long-abandoned building on WIN’s campus. The removal of this safety hazard created fresh green space that has already hosted WIN’s Easter Hop-Up and served as a play space for children in WIN’s summer camp.
“John R. Jurgsensen Company has helped transform our neighborhood in lasting ways,” said WIN Executive Director Barbara Busch. “From building the walking trail to clearing land for new possibilities, their generosity has increased safety, created opportunities for children to have fun, and built hope for the families we serve.”
Why does Jurgensen support WIN? Jackie Alf, Executive Vice President of Jurgensen Companies, explained: “Working In Neighborhoods has strengthened Cincinnati by empowering families, creating affordable housing, and serving both the elderly and children. We honor their vision and lasting impact on our communities.”
