Steve Berta
Steve, a 1975 graduate of Bloom-Carroll High School, has devoted decades of service to Bloom-Carroll athletics and student-athletes. A retired owner and president of Berta’s Lawn Service, Steve’s commitment to his alma mater reflects a lifelong dedication to community and service.
Steve and his wife, Connie, also a 1975 Bloom-Carroll graduate, recently celebrated 49 years of marriage. They are proud parents of two Bloom-Carroll graduates and grandparents to five current and future Bulldogs, making them a three-generation Bloom-Carroll family.
Steve began volunteering with the Bloom-Carroll Athletic Boosters in the early 1990s and continued through the early 2000s, even after his children had graduated. His hands-on contributions included renovations to the concession stand and weight room, improvements to the softball and baseball fields, track resurfacing, press box construction, and years of reseeding the football field until it became a turf surface.
In addition to facility improvements, Steve supported athletic funding by working concession stands at home football games and volunteering at major venues such as Ohio Stadium, Crew Stadium, and Nationwide Arena. He also played a key role in establishing Bingo fundraising in the Carroll area, helping secure the necessary 501(c)(3) status alongside the late Ramona Fickel and generating thousands of dollars for the Booster program.
These funds supported uniforms, equipment, and program needs across all sports and helped offset Pay-to-Participate fees for students in need, ensuring all athletes had the opportunity to compete regardless of their financial circumstances.
Steve is grateful to his family, friends, and fellow volunteers and encourages Bulldog families—past, present, and future—to get involved, make a difference, and pay it forward.
