2024 Walk, Rock, Roll & Run Event a Success

Employees joined forces in early May for the Walk, Rock, Roll, and Run event in downtown Cleveland to show their support for the Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio. Together, the team raised over $17,000, surpassing their initial goal of $8,000. In fact, they were the top fundraising team taking home the Top Workplace Traveling trophy! The funds will support a new generation of students and future leaders, helping them embrace their differences and become advocates for inclusion and diversity in our communities.
