Partners and Major Donors

Our staff, partners, and major donors often work thanklessly to develop deep problem-solving initiatives, positive mutually-beneficial outcomes and co-hosted event experiences that benefit families in the Cleveland area (and soon beyond).  Here are just a few we would like to highlight and thank below.

Recess Cleveland welcomes the support and partnership of the business community to help us build healthy, active, and connected communities using recess, organized sports, and playful learning in areas lacking safe spaces to play. Donations can be made through annual giving or gifts-in-kind. In recognition of their support, Community Partners and Corporate Members receive benefits customized to their needs and level of support, including:
  • Event sponsorship and tickets
  • Private team-building events
  • Volunteerism team-building opportunities
  • Brand promotion
  • Social Media Shoutouts
  • Recognition at our indoor playroom we call The recessROOM

Our Corporate Members and Community Partners provide the vital support we need to create play opportunities in areas lacking safe spaces to play. To learn more about our program please schedule a meeting with Alexander Robertson, our Founder, by visiting here

From all of us at Recess Cleveland, thank you to all those working with us to help families exercise, socialize, and connect with their community using play!

We can’t do it alone.

Our partners have made a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of people affected by play. For this reason, Recess Cleveland seeks to forge relationships with community agencies, nonprofits, and for-profit corporations through partnership on programs and initiatives, charitable giving, and cause marketing.

Involvement in the Recess Cleveland mission has taken many forms over the years. From forming teams at Recess Cleveland Events to underwriting the cost of Recess Cleveland programs, together, we can ignite your mission and ours.

Schedule a meeting with us today to see how we can work together.
