DONATIONS TO BE VOTED ON AT THE JUNE 21, 2025 CHAPTER MEETING
St. Francis of Assisi Sports Boosters
SFA Boosters supports all student athletes from Kindergarten through 8th grade.
This golf outing is the only fundraiser for Boosters, so it's a big one for the kids.
This year's goals are to purchase new outdoor scoreboards for our baseball and soccer fields, a new volleyball net system, new football helmets, new basketballs, new uniforms for our track and field and volleyball teams and continue offering skill development programs for our athletes.
I believe the Browns Barkers should support the SFA Boosters because it's supporting local children in athletics that teaches them to be better teammates and people.
The Browns Barkers have been supporters for 3 straight years and would love to have our logo on the banner again!
Thank you for your continued support!
Amount Requested $500 Requested by Adam Dishong
Cleveland Stroke Club
To the members of the Browns Barkers, Jean and I are members of Browns Barkers and at this time we would like to ask the group to provide a $500 donation to the Cleveland Stroke Club.
The money will be used to provide opportunities for members that cannot afford to pay out of pocket to attend the annual celebration/dinner event to be held in August this year at Alfredo’s in Mayfield Village.
Each year in the United States approximately 800,000 people have a stroke or “brain attack”. A stroke or “brain attack” occurs suddenly and can leave the individual that suffered the stroke with life-long disabilities in communication, thinking, eating, and mobility. These disabilities result in social isolation for many, many stroke survivors.
Support groups for stroke survivors and their family members are critical in terms of reducing social isolation and providing support for dealing with the changes. The Cleveland Stroke Club (CSC) is a nonprofit organization that was started over 50 years ago to support survivors of strokes and their family members.
Jean has been a volunteer for the CSC for over 20 years, and I have been on the board for over a one year. It is an organization that touches our hearts. We have been able to see up close the resilience of these individuals and their family members who live with these challenges 24/7 365 days a year.

Greater Cleveland Fisher House
The national Fisher House program is a “home away from home” for families of veteran and active-duty patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers. There are 100 Fisher Houses around the country and overseas.
The two Cleveland VA Fisher Houses opened in June 2019 and provide free temporary lodging so veteran families who live 50 miles or more from the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center can be close to their loved one during their medical treatment.
In partnership with VA staff, the Greater Cleveland Fisher House foundation provides any additional resources these families need during a challenging time in their lives. We are able to do this thanks to our generous donors as well as through fundraisers and participating in events that directly benefit this organization and its mission.
