The Joshua Ringel Memorial Fund memorializes CTY alumnus Joshua Ringel and his mother, Barbara, supporting a free annual poetry reading in Baltimore for both lovers of poetry, and those who wish to learn to love it as Joshua did. Josh's teacher, the renowned poet Kenneth Koch, gave the inaugural Joshua Ringel Memorial Reading in 1998. Since then, eleven other distinguished poets, including Billy Collins, John Ashbery, Sharon Olds, and Galway Kinnell, have lent their voices to this remarkable series. A gift by Josh's father, Mel Ringel, in 2004 created an endowment at Johns Hopkins, with a goal of sustaining the Reading in perpetuity. Donate now! Enter your gift in the Gift Designation drop-down and select Joshua Ringel Memorial Fund (6th entry).
