On February 3, 2026, Project Give gathered at Burntwood Tavern for our Winter Warm Up event- an inspiring evening of connection, generosity, and meaningful impact.
Thanks to the incredible support of our members, guests, and sponsors including Taylored Construction. We were proud to spotlight and support The CarsonStrong Foundation.

​​About CarsonStrong
​The CarsonStrong Foundation is committed to improving the lives of children and families impacted by cancer and other significant life challenges. Their signature program, Gift of Time Together, provides fully funded respite experiences for families facing a child’s life-threatening illness.

At Project Give, we believe generosity grows strongest when communities come together. This holiday season, thanks to one incredibly generous donor- the DeRoche Family, we’re launching Holidays Without Hunger- an initiative supporting five nonprofit organizations across Northeast Ohio.

The goal is simple:
Put food and dignity directly into the hands of people who need it most.

Through grocery gift cards, meal support, and essential supplies, this gift is already creating powerful impact. Here’s how each organization will benefit this holiday season.

Last night’s Summer Sip was more than just a beautiful evening. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when women come together with purpose. Over 40 attendees gathered at Blind Squirrel Winery in Chagrin Falls to support Honey from the Rock, a local nonprofit doing deeply impactful work with children and families touched by the foster care system.

​Thanks to our generous community and sponsor Pulp Smoothie & Juice Bar, guests enjoyed delicious food and drinks, while learning about an organization run entirely by volunteers, driven by donations, and full of heart.

Project Give proudly presented a $5,000 grant to support Honey from the Rock’s next chapter: creating a childcare and bonding space in their new, larger location. Founder Kathy shared an emotional presentation about the importance of this space- a room filled not just with toys and kid-sized furniture, but with dignity, joy, and hope for children navigating the trauma of foster care and family separation.

This space is designed for more than just play. It's a sacred place where siblings, often separated into different homes, can bond; where parents can reconnect with their children in a safe, comforting environment; and where joyful memories can begin to soften some of the pain these children carry.

As Kathy said, “My one-year-old foster son deserves more than a room with a table and chairs he can’t even sit on. These children struggle already with visitation. Anything I can do to infuse that trauma with joyful memories is an honor.”

​We are humbled to stand beside Honey from the Rock as they build this much-needed space. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and showed up in support of families in our community. Together, we are making a difference.

This May, Project Give hosted our Spring Fling fundraiser—a cheerful, purposeful evening filled with community, generosity, and spring blooms. Held at Breezewood Gardens & Gifts, guests sipped wine, enjoyed delicious food from Alesci’s, and came together to support a meaningful cause.

Attendees had the chance to shop for Mother’s Day flowers and garden essentials, with Breezewood offering a 10% discount for event guests. Even more generous--Breezewood donated 10% of sales from the evening back to Project Give, resulting in a $450 contribution toward our giving goals. We’re incredibly grateful for their continued partnership and support
