[FN],
time to get hiking and dirty...

Blazing Trails

THIS SATURDAY April 24th - 8:15 AM to 1:30 PM

Want to get your Spring off to a BLAZING start?  Join Give Back Cincinnati as we partner with Cincinnati Off Road Alliance (CORA) and get down and dirty in Devou Park.  Search for those old hiking shoes, grab that old pair of jeans, and find that favorite work shirt, as we gear up to build some trails!

 

The work will be challenging, demanding, extremely physical, and by the end of the day you’ll probably let out a few sighs of exhaustion.  There is a 30-minute hike to the work site.  Once you arrive to the work site you can expect to be digging, tearing out honeysuckle, and other types of landscaping.  No worries though, your hard work will be rewarded with an exciting after party!

 

The after party will start around 1:30.  We will hike back down around 1:00 to a nice cookout at the base of the mountain.  There will be games, including a cornhole tournament, with prizes, consisting of zoo passes and gift cards.  There will also be a DJ from Double Platinum Productions to provide music.  So don’t leave once the work is finished.  Stay and enjoy a relaxing, fun party to celebrate our accomplishments as well as socialize with fellow GBC members.

 

If you like hiking and working in your yard, why not take both to the EXTREME with Give Back Cincinnati? 

Registration will begin at 8:15.  The hike up the mountain will begin once the majority of volunteers have signed in. 

A few spots remain for Blazing Trails!!!

 

Members' Choice

Throughout the year, the leadership of Give Back Cincinnati creates, plans, and executes 30+ events from Hands-on to social gatherings... now it is YOUR turn to have a direct say in what we do.   Members' Choice is a hands-on event that is created by the membership and then voted on by the entire membership at large.

Where do you think we should go? What should we do? Who should we help? What types of hands-on events do you want to do? (painting, landscaping, street cleanup, trail building...)

The sky is the limit on ideas. If you have a phenomenal idea, but are not sure about the logistics, let us worry about it. We are looking for every idea we can get!! We will then have our Hands-on Committee process all the ideas and choose a top ten based on feasibility, logistics and such. These folks are the experts as they have been leading us all year.

So what do you need to do now??

Follow the link below and tell us about your idea in our survey. Please include as much as you can about your concept. If you do not know all the details, do not fret, however the more you can provide the better.

Thank you for your passion for Give Back Cincinnati. Without new ideas, enthusiasm, and your passion we would not be in our 10th year with more than 5000 members.

Submit your idea here!!
