2025 Gift of Life
Community West Foundation and Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital hosted an unforgettable evening at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on Tuesday, August 12, drawing a crowd of over 1,300 for the third annual Gift of Life Event! This lively celebration honored Fairview Hospital’s 125+ years of dedicated service to families in the Greater Cleveland Area. Fairview’s incredible caregivers, who support women preparing for motherhood, care for newborns, nurture children at every stage, and so much more, were at the heart of the festivities.
The night was brimming with excitement as guests enjoyed exclusive access to the zoo and its mesmerizing Asian Lantern Festival. From complimentary rides on the enchanting Circle of Wildlife Carousel to up-close encounters with adorable animals, superhero meet-and-greets, face painting, photobooth fun, and thrilling raffles – there was something for everyone! Each attendee left with a special memento, a Gift of Life drawstring backpack, to remember the magical night.
