Join Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald and The Civic Commons for The Challenge Cuyahoga Kick-Off Party! 

Challenge Cuyahoga is an annual social innovation competition that surfaces and supports citizen-based projects to fix what's wrong and make what's right even better. Competition operations begin in 2012, so you have plenty of time to brainstorm. It's the change you want to see in the world.

And it'll be way better if you're there.

Find out how hot dogs, sneakers and chairs are changing the planet.
