Lucky to Have Our Volunteers: Highlights From GCV’s Annual Celebration
Over 110 people attended “Lucky to Have Our Volunteers,” a Greater Cleveland Volunteers celebration honoring our volunteers and their incredible dedication. This annual event serves as a way for GCV to recognize the impact our volunteers make in the community every day and to thank them for their service.
Guests filled Benjamin Rose on June 4 for a casino-inspired evening featuring delicious heavy appetizers, games of chance, Bingo, and plenty of good cheer.
Eight individuals were presented with the Spirit of Giving Award at the event. This award allows partner agencies to nominate dedicated volunteers and highlight the amazing work being done at their organizations.
