over $25,000 in support of our work to help Lake County residents in need! The students came together to raise funds during Spirit Week and both surpassed their goals. We would like to extend a big thank you to them, and another big thank you to Superintendent
Steve Thompson

Erin Dodson

Students from Sterling Morton Elementary School in Mentor make giving FUN-ky.
Students from
Morton Elementary School in Mentor drummed up a few FUN-ky ways to raise donations on our behalf. These hippies and superheroes proved that good things really do come in small packages.

North & South Madison Elementary Schools
|
North Madison Elementary School students got in on the act of “Taping the Teacher”
to raise donations. Even principle Bill Mayer (above photo) took one for the team! And at South Madison Elementary School, where the same antics took place, one kind soul donated enough funds so every child could purchase a piece of tape to "give back!" A big thank you to Shannon Sampson for running the event, to all of the very brave “taped” teachers, and most of all, to the kids!

CT Consultants kicking off their United Way of Lake County Giving Campaign.
CT Consultants in Mentor recently kicked off their United Way Giving Campaign in a Chill-i-ing way! Vats of chili and a frightful dress code ruled the day. Strong leadership and a team of big hearts that believe in giving back live here. Thank you for being a fabulous community partner and for the impact you make in the lives our residents.

Meister Media Worldwide headquarters in Willoughby.
Meister Media Worldwide in Willoughby recently closed their 2018 Giving Campaign with a bang! Rather than "...wonder why somebody didn't do something about that, they DID something about that," and Lake County's residents in need are better off because of them. Their team killed their fundraising goal and Meister Media then turned around and matched this by a whopping 75%! A big thank you to all involved.

"Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values."
