The Foundation administers funds for charitable, literary and educational purposes, among others, all for the public welfare and is committed to improving the cultural life the Montgomery community.

Owen Aronov, son of the late Mr. Aronov, received the award on behalf of the foundation at the awards luncheon. The Aaron Aronov Foundation received the award in recognition of its involvement in promoting the arts in Montgomery, notably its sponsorship of and leadership roles in organizations like the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, The Montgomery Symphony Orchestra, and it’s fund-raising efforts for the Cleveland Avenue YMCA Cultural Arts and Education Center.

“This award is an honor for us,” said Owen Aronov. “The Aronov family has a deep care for the community in which we live and do business, and feel it is important to give back to the community in various ways. Forming strong alliances with various arts organizations is certainly important in improving the quality of life and enhancing the community where we live.”
