About Us
Embracing Futures, Inc. was established in 1946 by the publisher of the Akron Beacon Journal, John S. Knight, and other civic leaders under the ‘Beacon Journal Charity Fund.’
Although their efforts supported many community-wide projects and programs, our founders focused on low-income families in the community. They were dedicated to helping families who were struggling to pay for medical care and had limited access to quality doctors. Today, Embracing Futures, Inc. operates as an independent non-profit organization providing orthodontic services for children living in Summit, Portage, Medina, Stark, and Wayne counties.
