The annual "Cheers to Camp Cheerful" event benefits programs of Camp Cheerful and will be held Saturday, September 21, 2019, at Camp Cheerful. Major support for the event is provided by the Brunswick Auto Mart, along with other generous sponsors.
The casual, fun evening will include happy hour in the horse barn with appetizers, ‘Barnyard Bingo’ 50/50 raffle followed by dinner, dancing and DJ, refreshments (beer, wine, soft drinks), raffles, and silent auction in the Great Hall. Popular silent auction items will include many unique experience packages and items such as autographed sports memorabilia, sporting event tickets, spa and golf packages, restaurant certificates and more. The Cheers to Camp Cheerful event is organized by a dedicated and active group of volunteers from the Strongsville area, with a goal to raise over $90,000 to support the many programs at Camp Cheerful.

Built in 1947 on 52 wooded acres in the Cleveland Metroparks Mill Stream Run Reservation, Camp Cheerful was Ohio’s first barrier-free camp specifically designed for children with physical disabilities. Today, campers of all abilities and ages enjoy activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, campfires, fishing, canoeing, sports, and therapeutic horseback riding. Camp Cheerful offers seasonally-appropriate activities for children and adults with and without disabilities in a supportive outdoor environment, including weekend respite care for campers, adapted sports, outdoor education programs and our year-round River Rock Adult Day program.
