RELEASE DATE: 01.02.15

CLEVELAND – As the Cleveland Foundation officially begins its 101st year today, it is pleased to announce that many of the organizations it partnered with last year for the monthly centennial gifts have chosen to continue the celebration into the new year by offering more gifts throughout 2015, in honor of the foundation’s year of giving and the start of its second century of impact in the community.

2015Gift_logoFB“Through our centennial gifts, we were able to introduce or reintroduce Greater Clevelanders to so many wonderful community assets last year,” said Robert E. Eckardt, Executive Vice President of the Cleveland Foundation. “We thank these community partners for celebrating our year of giving by offering gifts of their own to the community. As we begin our next century of impact in Greater Cleveland, we hope these acts of generosity will encourage residents to continue engaging with these amazing institutions that are part of our community’s bright future.”

The gifts range from free memberships to ticket discounts to gift packets.
