The Kikel Charitable Trust, administered by Farmers Trust Co., announced Monday it has provided $1 million to Akron Children’s Mahoning Valley.
Since 2011, the Kikel estate has given more than $8 million to the local health care provider. This year, the trust is supporting a variety of projects and initiatives.
Sisters Angela, Josephine and Jenny Kikel shared their resources and a common desire to help children in their community. The three lived modestly, saved consistently and invested wisely, accumulating a significant estate.
The sisters passed away within one year of each other between 1997 and 1998. Before their deaths, they established an estate plan that designated support for children in Mahoning Valley.
