Community Engagement

As Cleveland Clinic strives to ensure that every community we serve is the healthiest it can be, you can play a key role as a Cleveland Clinic caregiver.

How do I participate?

Give to the Cleveland Clinic Harvest for Hunger Giving Campaign

One in seven Ohioans struggles to put food on the table. Nearly one in four children are at risk of going hungry. That is why Cleveland Clinic is supporting Harvest for Hunger - an annual campaign that supports local food banks in northeast Ohio.

Through May 2024, join your colleagues in supporting Harvest for Hunger, one of the largest community-wide food and funds drives covering 21 counties in northeast Ohio. 100% of your donation to the Cleveland Clinic Harvest for Hunger Giving Campaign will provide nutritious meals to people in the northeast Ohio community.

Our Community Service Time Off initiative provides opportunities for you to make your community a better place by volunteering on paid time with designated agencies, including:

  • Packing medical supplies for those in need.

Caregivers who participate in the CSTO program will be paid to volunteer for up to four scheduled work hours per year. Effective October 11, 2022, benefit-eligible caregivers at U.S. locations* can participate in Community Service Time Off (CSTO). For questions, please contact CSTO@ccf.org.

Caregiver Hardship Fund

The Caregiver Hardship Fund aids your fellow caregivers who are facing short-term financial hardships. It could be a past-due mortgage, rent or utility payment. It could be an unexpected medical bill.

Launched in 2009, the Caregiver Hardship Fund has distributed more than $8 million in grants to 10,000+ caregivers. Your generosity will make a deeply appreciated difference in a moment of need for a co-worker.

VeloSano

Latin for “swift cure,” VeloSano connects the cancer community with Cleveland Clinic’s expanding global impact in research, innovation and care. What began as a weekend-long bike ride in Cleveland in 2014 has become the link that connects philanthropy to research, research to patients, and patients to cures.

Thanks to VeloSano, our premier cancer research fundraising initiative at Cleveland Clinic, $51 million has been raised to date with 100% of those funds directly supporting over 220 cancer research projects. VeloSano remains 100% committed to realizing the potential of individuals and communities with a single, like-minded passion: ending cancer.

There are many ways you can make an impact and join the VeloSano movement!

  • Bike To Cure – Ride or Volunteer with us in Bike to Cure, the flagship fundraising event for VeloSano. Join us for a fun and meaningful weekend in downtown Cleveland or virtually participate anytime, anywhere and in any way you choose.
  • Trike & Bike - Get your child involved, and register them for a Trike & Bike ride near you! Trike & Bike is a series of community-organized bike rides which provide children (ages 3-12) an opportunity to give back to others by fundraising for pediatric cancer research.
  • Donate to an individual, team or to the general VeloSano fund. 100% of every dollar you give directly supports lifesaving cancer research at Cleveland Clinic.

Go to the VeloSano Content Hub for more details on how to get involved!

For questions, contact VeloSano at velosano@ccf.org or leave a voicemail at 216.444.6150.

Together, we are VeloSano. Together, to cure cancer.
