I’m a proud member of the America SCORES Cleveland board of directors and also chair our marketing and communications committee and efforts. This incredible organization provides important after school programming to Cleveland youth via writing/poetry, soccer and community service projects. We are in the midst of our annual campaign and I’m asking my followers to support these efforts with a financial donation- any amount no matter how small or large would be greatly appreciated. We are celebrating our 20th Anniversary this year and to that I’ll match donations coming from my LinkedIn community! Thank you, Jason

Happy World Kindness Day! 💖 Let's spread a little love and positivity today. We wanted to take this day of kindness to highlight some of our 2024 Service projects! Each spring the SCORES poet-athletes begin the season by learning how to define community. They then explore the issues they see in their community and develop a service project to help fix the issue. This year our poet-athletes collected $225 for a local animal shelter, planted flowers and painted rocks to beautify school gardens, wrote cards to make those in the community smile, and cleaned up their school grounds. We are so proud of all the hard work the poet-athletes did throughout the season to help make their community a better place. 🌍✨ #BeKind #SpreadJoy
Tomorrow, our Cleveland poet-athletes will take the stage to share their voices at the 20th Annual America SCORES Cleveland Poetry SLAM! 🎤✨ We can’t wait to see you all there! Thank you to Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, Cleveland State University, and Ohio Arts Council for all your support!
