Hey Beat Fans, we wanted to let you in on a fantastic opportunity to support some very courageous women, and have a great night out while doing it!
The Beat are playing a benefit for THE CLEVELAND COURAGE FUND on TUESDAY MAY 14TH: The Cleveland Courage Fund of the Cleveland Foundation was established by Cleveland council members Brian Cummins, Matt Zone, and Dona Brady after the discovery of three women held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade. (CCF Link) The fund, so named because of the courage shown by these women, will directly benefit Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight, and Amanda Berry and her daughter. All money raised – 100 percent they say – will benefit the survivors and their families through nonprofit organizations.The Cleveland Foundation say they will not assess fees on this fund and will issue a tax receipt for all donations received.
Can’t make it to the show? That’s okay, because you can also donate directly via this link: The Cleveland Courage Fund

Those women could ultimately use a college scholarship fund.
The fund was set up by Cummins, of Ward 14, and council members Dona Brady, of Ward 17, and Matt Zone, of Ward 15, to help the three women and child who were held captive inside a Seymour Avenue home. Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Berry’s daughter were discovered inside the home one week ago.
Yes, thank you Sybil and Thomas for your useful and insightful comments.
The show went over very well and we were very pleased to be of some small help to these three courageous women.
Just an update, according to the CLEVELAND COURAGE FUND website, as of August 6th, you all have raised $1,390,000 for this worthy cause and these brave women.
Well done!!
