From the days of the leather football helmet to the modern era of the Super Bowl, Cleveland Touchdown Club Charities, Inc. has had a love affair with the great game of football. It has witnessed many great plays, honored numerous stars and brought the joy of the game to thousands of Greater Cleveland's youth through equipment grants. Our reach spreads to the following counties: Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit. The CTCC has been a group of ardent football fans who live and die with the Browns, but it also is a group committed to the ideals that football teaches on and off the field of play.
As a 501(c)(3) charity, each year, Cleveland Touchdown Club Charities, Inc. proudly recognizes local athletes through our annual awards program. We offer high school graduates the opportunity for college scholarships. Our selection committee sorts through many applications and presents the awards at our yearly golf outing in July. In addition, the CTCC volunteers each at the Browns facility for an event with the Special Olympics of the Greater Cleveland and contributes its time to a number of other charitable organizations.
Our commitment to the youth of this great city is unbridled. We focus our charitable efforts through recognition and volunteerism and by providing financial support to those in need in our community. Every year, we host special charity events and partner with other great organizations to further this cause.
Without the contributions from our supporters and sponsors, Cleveland Touchdown Club Charities would not be able to continue giving back to the community. With that, we would like to thank each and every one of you who has helped us with our mission of Providing Youth a Sporting Chance.
