And we’re off!
We had our kick-off event last Friday at the CLE Heritage Building (our 2021 home base)!
Our Campaign Chair and biggest cheerleader, Joleene Kemp, was joined by Paul Penna from Toys for Tots to launch our 2021 campaign!
Many in our community are still feeling the effects of the pandemic and are in need. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated to help families who need a little help this holiday season! 🎄⛄️🎁
