To do that, we asked employees to send in a list of charities that were important to them and we made a list of 40 to support throughout the year. --- During the first quarter we supported **Cleveland Christian Home **by making Easter baskets for the kids who stay at their Residential Treatment Center, **St. Baldrick Foundation/ShaneRock** for one of our employees who shaved his head to support cancer research and we sponsored the **Kidney Foundation of Ohio’s** annual gala. We also collected much needed items for **Laura’s Home Women’s Crisis Center**, walked to support those with **Marfan syndrome**, hosted a blood drive for the **Red Cross Cleveland** and then volunteered at the **Cleveland Food Bank** putting together lunches for kids. For the second quarter, we cooked dinner at **Ronald McDonald House** with Melt Bar & Grilled for families currently staying at the house, employees brought in new and gently used children’s books for local kids at the **Cleveland Kids Book Bank and **we walked across downtown Cleveland to support those with **Multiple Sclerosis. **Our employees also made sweets and snacks for children and families that attended meetings at **The Gathering Place** and collected urgently needed dogs items for **Live Love Rescue**. **![Ronald McDonald House with Melt](https://www.fortneyweygandt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/34562276_10156664053569684_7227486956148490240_o.jpg?width=1000&name=34562276_10156664053569684_7227486956148490240_o.jpg)**   We are supporting the following nonprofits during the third quarter of 2018: **- Special Olympics of Ohio with a team for their Cleveland Plane Pull. ** **- Cleveland APL by sponsoring a cage in their kennel. ** **- Dress for Success by collecting new or gently used women's suits for local women entering or reentering the work place. ** **- Velosano Bike for the Cure by supporting an employee that is participating in the 12 mile ride for cancer research. ** **- St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by making a team and walking in their Greater Cleveland fundraiser. ** **- Guidestone OH by collecting new and gently used items for the children and families they serve. ** --- Follow us on our social media sites to keep up with our progress on hitting 40 charities this year!
