This summer, you’re invited to participate in the ‘Step Up for Lakeside’ Challenge. If 200 or more Lakesiders begin or renew their Lakeside Fund support before Monday, Aug. 8, a generous group of Lakeside families have committed to give a combined $60,000 donation to the Lakeside Fund! Gifts of any size help unlock this Challenge Gift.

Your participation by giving to the Lakeside Fund allows thousands of friends, families and guests to nurture mind, body and spirit, create cherished memories and make lifelong friends at Lakeside. Additionally, those who participate in the Challenge will be invited to a ‘Big Splash’ Pool Party on Tuesday, Aug. 2. 
If you already give to the Lakeside Fund, thank you for your generous support. You, too, can participate in the Challenge. When new or renewing individuals mention your name when they give, you will be invited to the Pool Party. Invite your friends, family and neighbors to give to the Lakeside Fund to ensure you're a part of the fun.
 
We need all hands on deck to meet our $1.1 million Lakeside Fund goal, and your participation in this Challenge will transform, revitalize and protect everything you love most about Lakeside.

“Lakeside’s 149th Chautauqua season is another crucial year,” says Kip Greenhill, Lakeside Chautauqua President & CEO. “Gifts of every size make a difference and add up in transformational ways. If you’re confident in Lakeside’s future and you believe that the best days of Lakeside are ahead of us like I do, I ask that you give a gift of any amount to the Lakeside Fund.”
 
Show your love, care and kindness alongside 200 Lakesiders to make an incredible difference. Together, we can unlock the ‘Step Up for Lakeside’ $60,000 Challenge Gift and continue to be the great community so many of you love.
Gather an extra special gift to support Lakeside and meet us at the Pop-Up Meet & Mingle! Stop by for lemonade, cookies and to meet new Lakeside friends. We’re rolling out the lemonade stands to have some fun for the afternoon.

New gifts support the ‘Step Up for Lakeside’ Challenge Gift. All gifts, regardless of size, support the Lakeside Fund, so bring an extra special gift or coins from your change jar.
We can’t wait to meet you and hear about why you love Lakeside.
We’re hosting a ‘Big Splash’ Pool Party at the Grindley Aquatic & Wellness Campus Pool to celebrate summer and expand support to the Lakeside Fund. All are invited! Simply bring an extra special donation or loose change to support Lakeside’s mission and to join the fun at the pool.

Together, all gifts, regardless of size, create a lasting impact for individuals and families visiting Lakeside. Show your love for Lakeside Chautauqua and don’t miss out on the fun with Lakeside friends.
Beautiful sunsets, enriching programs, spectacular gardens, inspirational music, special friends and community are important to the Lakeside Chautauqua experience every year.
 
For one night only, we’re combining all into a memorable experience along Ohio’s Most Beautiful Mile, known as ‘Music on the Lakefront.’ Special thanks to Mame and Bill Drackett at 528 Lakefront for graciously hosting this extraordinary Lakeside experience on the lawn.
 
The evening will start with a time of fellowship, allowing you meet new Lakesiders and reconnect with longtime friends. At 7:30 p.m., Michael and Pamela Shirtz will perform a special evening concert, with Lake Erie, the islands and sunset as a beautiful backdrop. A performer, producer, composer and conductor, Michael is known for his versatility with jazz, contemporary and classical music and Pamela is an accomplished singer and actress.
