RECAP: 2025 COMMISSIONED FUNDRAISER
Thank You for Making our 2025 Commissioned Fundraiser a Resounding Success!
We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the 2025 COMMISSIONED Fundraiser raised over $7,500 in support of the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center!
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our faculty and artists who made this event possible by donating their time, creativity, and one-of-a-kind artwork. Your dedication to CVAC and passion for the visual arts continue to inspire and uplift our entire community.
We’re especially grateful to Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial, which matched every dollar raised—up to $2,500—as part of our fundraising efforts. That match was instrumental in helping us reach our final total of over $7,500, making every donation go even further.
To everyone who purchased raffle tickets, donated artwork, contributed funds, or helped spread the word: thank you. Your support directly strengthens our programming, community outreach, and ensures that the arts remain vibrant and accessible in Summit County.
Together, we’ve proven once again what a powerful, creative, and generous community we have. We can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish next year!
