How does Casino Night work?
1. Purchase an admission ticket for the event which includes unlimited food and drinks (beer, wine, soda, and water).
2. Join us on Saturday, January 25 for a night of fun for a good cause!
When you arrive, you’ll need to purchase game chips. The chips are used to play various casino games like blackjack, craps, and poker.
3. Play your heart out!
4. At the end of the night, chips are exchanged for raffle tickets. You will place your raffle tickets in prize buckets of your choice and winners will be drawn. Prizes include but are not limited to local business gift cards, museum tickets, theatre tickets, and sporting items ($50+ value).
Near West Recreation has proudly served Cleveland’s Near West Side since 2012, offering young people numerous opportunities to participate in sports leagues, camps, and clinics. To ensure accessibility for all, families have always been able to choose a registration fee that fits their budget.
Each year, over 50% of youth participants request financial assistance, resulting in an annual shortfall of $25,000 in registration fees. To bridge this gap, we’ve established the Champion’s Fund, which will allow Near West Recreation to continue offering financial aid without compromising the quality of our programs.
All proceeds from our Casino Night fundraiser on January 25th will go directly to the Champion’s Fund, helping ensure that every child has the chance to engage in sports, regardless of financial circumstances. To learn more about Near West Recreation, please visit www.nearwestrec.org

Franklin-Clinton Block Club Summer Street Fair
2024-08-18 17:30 - 19:30 | OH
You see a valley; they see a bridge. You see a busy intersection; they see a roundabout. You see a vacant building; they see the gleaming tiger mahogany bar inside drawing patrons from around the world.These are the Ohio City entrepreneurs. And, they see solutions. Take a lesson from these dreamers: don’t live in the past. Ohio City, one mile west of Downtown Cleveland, is buzzing with energy.
Restaurant patios clatter with the sound of laughter over craft beer flights and big bowls of locally sourced food. Cyclists pass along West 25th Street making their way between a neighborhood lined with historic Victorians homes and the towering skyscrapers of Downtown. And, it all happens as generations of shoppers — young and old — dip in and out of the historic West Side Market. Every venue you visit was envisioned by an Ohio City maker.
