Cleveland Clinic Employees Go Back to Camp to Help Kids
On Thursday, September 28, more than 100 employees from the Cleveland Clinic renovated Achievement Centers for Children's Camp Cheerful, a camp for children and youths with disabilities. Clinic volunteers completed several projects, including painting, splitting firewood, cleaning cabins and landscaping the camp's grounds. "Our annual support of United Way's Day of Caring, this year at Camp Cheerful, is another way Cleveland Clinic employees make a difference in our community," said Don Sinko, Chief Integrity Officer and Day of Caring Coordinator at Cleveland Clinic. "By giving of their time and talent, our employees will provide a lasting benefit to Camp Cheerful and the families and children it serves."
United Way Days of Caring gives volunteers the opportunity to donate a day of work at one of more than 130 community partner sites. Volunteers see first-hand the needs in our community and how their efforts can have a positive impact on the lives of people in need.
Please contact Jessica D. Snyder at 216-436-2123 or jdsnyder@uws.org if you are interested in participating in the Days of Caring program.
