Our Mission

Keeping Their Legacy Alive

Dave Rex and Mike Sullivan were born and raised in Archbold, Ohio. For more than three decades, they gave everything they had to the students and families of northwest Ohio — as teachers, coaches, athletic directors, and school administrators. Together, they shaped hundreds of young lives and devoted themselves entirely to the cause of public education.

"Their combined legacy represents a life's work in service to public education — and this scholarship is how we ensure that legacy continues to inspire future generations."

The Dave Rex and Mike Sullivan Education Scholarship Fund is an Ohio 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We award annual scholarships to graduating seniors from Archbold High School and Stryker High School who are pursuing a career in education — because that is exactly what Dave and Mike would have wanted.
