Since 1948, the Sears-Swetland Family Foundation has supported many health, education and environmental causes across the University Circle neighborhood and beyond. Founded by inventor Lester M. Sears, his wife, Ruth Parker Sears, and their daughter, Mary Ann Sears Swetland, the foundation’s mission lives at CWRU through the Mary Ann Swetland Center for Environmental Health.
