Traverse City Record Eagle, 24 October 2014
From staff reports
TRAVERSE CITY — Frank Petty, of Traverse City, was named vice chairman of Ball Brothers Foundation, one of the oldest private philanthropies in Indiana still led by members of its founding family.
Petty is the great-grandson of the foundation’s first president, F.C. Ball. Ball helped launch the Ball family’s glass-manufacturing business in the 1880s.
The foundation was created in 1926 and continues to support charitable projects and educational programs in east central Indiana.
Petty grew up in Muncie, Ind., and graduated from Ball State University. He maintained ties to that area even after he and his wife, Angie, moved to Michigan. In Traverse City, Petty chairs the board of The Children’s House and volunteers with Wings of Mercy, an organization that helps transport patients in need of treatment at distant medical centers.
At the Ball Brothers Foundation, Petty will help set policy and serve as a resource to the philanthropy’s onsite staff. The foundation controls assets of more than $160 million.
