Dear Friends,

YC’s mission of bringing joy and laughter through sports and art will never change. While our brand of adaptive recreation is important, the health and well-being of our community is far more critical, and we proceed prudently by operating in the best interest of Team YC.

We happily bring children from all corners of Greater Cleveland together for fun! In most instances, that is a great thing. Relative to the recent events, that model is not a “healthy choice” now. In that light, we have decided to suspend regular programming for participants and volunteers through March 26. At that time, we will digest the information available and reassess.

Due to the mandate put in place by the State of Ohio this afternoon, we will be canceling Brats, Beer, and Brackets on March 18. An email will be sent out tomorrow with details for people who have already purchased tickets.

Our Annual Benefit & Auction on April 4 will be transitioning into a virtual event.  We will have details available next week about the online auction and for those who have already purchased tickets. In the meantime, if you have any questions about our events, please call Carolyn Palmer, YC’s Communications & Events Manager at 440-892-1001 x 13.

Make the best of an unfortunate situation. Enjoy some time with family. And if you feel so inclined, you can donate to support YC by clicking here.

Yours in hygiene,
Chris Garr, CEO
