Why Your Support Matters

Although SOTC is generously supported by a number of Northeast Ohio’s community, corporate, and family foundations, support from our alumni donors is imperative to sustaining the program. Further, our grants depend on the size of our donor population, not just the total amount given. Any and all contributions will make a difference!

Make a Meaningful Impact

Summer on the Cuyahoga is an Ohio nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation for which your contributions are tax-deductible. Please consider a gift in the following amounts that reflect the cost of successfully executing this program:
