Recent Events

Keep Cincinnati Beautiful - Spend Earth Day Beautifying Cincinnati

Apr. 26th

In our annual collaboration with Keep Cincinnati Beautiful (falling on the day of the Great American Clean-Up), Give Back Cincinnati painted buildings and lamp posts, and revitalized the streets of the Northside business district. We also landscaped and rejuvenated Jacob Hoffner Park as part of our effort. The rain held off and the weather for the day was ideal! There were even door prizes at the after party. It was another rewarding day of community beautification!

Sounding Sessions

March

The first Sounding Sessions of 2008, taking place in March, centered around the topic of Agenda 360. The goal is to transform Cincinnati, by the year 2020, into a leading metropolitan region for talent, jobs, and economic opportunity for the benefit of everyone who calls this area their home. Read more about the Agenda 360 Sounding Sessions here.

Night at the Ballpark

Thanks for joining us on Fountain Square for Opening Day!

March 31st

Give Back Cincinnati and Woodford Reserve on Fountain Square added a new chapter in a century-old Cincinnati tradition. Skyline coneys and an ice-cold Christian Moerlein beer were plentiful, but unfortunately the Reds didn't come home a winner. Thanks to Ellison, The Flight Station, Heroes and Madmen for live entertainment post-game.
