THROWBACK TO 2015 CHILDHOOD LEAGUE CENTER MERRY GO ROUND

League Members Cristine and Richard Dennis

Though the 2020 Merry Go Round benefiting the Childhood League Center took on a new structure, after staff and volunteers re-aligned expectations, the virtual event far exceeded expectations, netting over $190,000. An hour-long program was professionally produced by Mills James and included a video of the Center team in action, testimonials from Center families, and the annual Auction of the Heart. Sponsors of the virtual event included American Electric Power, Nationwide Insurance, The L Brands Foundation, Express, and Oswald Companies. The video can be viewed at the Childhood League Center's Youtube channel. The resilient team at the Childhood League Center has plans to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the center in November, with specifics to be announced as the date draws closer. Until 2021, enjoy these photos from the 2015 Merry Go Round gala. To learn more about the Childhood League Center visit childhoodleague.org.
