CLBH Honors Long-time Donor

National Philanthropy Day was celebrated across the country on November 17. Locally, a luncheon was held that day at the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati to recognize and celebrate the profound effect that volunteering and giving have on the fabric of our community.

Yvonne Risola was our guest of honor at this year's event, which was attended by over 600 volunteers, donors, and staff members of various nonprofit agencies and organizations from the Greater Cincinnati area. Yvonne was joined by her daughter Lois and Steve Hegge, Director of Development, at the luncheon.

A strong and steady supporter of the Home for the past 17 years, Yvonne's monthly donations over the years have been a great example of the generous support we have received from so many donors for so many years. In celebrating National Philanthropy Day, we wish to thank Yvonne and all of our donors and volunteers for their continued investment in our mission.
