Cleveland, OH – October 16, 2025 — We’re excited to share that the Cleveland Musicians’ Fundraiser has selected the B Brave Foundation as our official charity partner for 2026! This announcement comes as we gear up to celebrate our 10th anniversary — a full decade of bringing our music community together to make a difference.
The B Brave Foundation supports children and families affected by pediatric degenerative neurological disorders, offering resources, advocacy, and hope through some of life’s most difficult moments. Together, we’re setting out to raise record-breaking funds and expand the foundation’s impact throughout Northeast Ohio.
“We are honored to work closely with the B Brave Foundation,” said our event organizer Scott Vaughn. “Their mission truly resonates with our community, and we look forward to a powerful year of music, unity, and giving.”
Over the past ten years, we’ve raised more than $212,000, welcomed over 5,000 attendees, and earned media coverage across radio, TV, and print. As we enter our 10th year, we’re ready to make this our most meaningful and impactful event yet.
🎳 Join us Sunday, December 7th from 2:30–5:00 PM at Wickliffe Lanes for an afternoon of fun, music community, and friendly competition!
🎯 Sponsor a lane for just $50 and help support our ongoing mission. We’ll also have a 50/50 raffle, merch for sale, and plenty of good vibes all around.
🎟️ More info and tickets coming soon — mark your calendar and get ready to rock and bowl for a great cause!
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.
To everyone who showed up, played, sang, danced, donated, cheered, volunteered, or simply spread the word: you made the 9th Annual Cleveland Musicians Fundraiser something truly special. We are incredibly honored to have supported Paws Ohio, a cause close to so many of our hearts. Sure, there were a few bumps along the way (when isn’t there?), but we hope you had as much fun as we did while making a real impact for animals in need.
It was hot — fry-an-egg-on-the-stage hot — but even the blazing sun couldn’t stop the kindness, generosity, and incredible spirit that filled the day. Huge thanks go out to all of our amazing side stage performers who kept the music going and the energy high from start to finish: Driving Rain, Duane Albert, Three Day Weekend, Dan McCoy Band, Speedrail Reunion, Kiss Trivia with Ashley, Movin’ On, Follow the Sun, Lilah Yeager, Patrick Grieshammer, Grateful Kev, Ashley Boyce, Hello McFly, Mike Binder & Priscilla, and Eric Butler.
And of course, an enormous thank you to the 60+ musicians who brought the magic to our Main Stage — you absolutely crushed it.
We’re also beyond grateful to every volunteer, vendor, and food truck that helped bring this event to life. It truly takes a village, and yours showed up in full force.
Finally, this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our generous sponsors. Please consider supporting the businesses that helped make it all happen: VLB Striping, Vecmar / Cashmatic, Marketing Firepower, Scotti G Entertainment, Active Plumbing, A Heavenly Helper, Tylok, The Cove, Sportsterz, Yankie’s, Action Collision Repair, and Pet Wants.
Thank you for the love, the sweat, the time, and the heart. You made a difference.
To all the amazing fans and supporters of the Cleveland Musicians Fundraiser — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Over the past nine years, your generosity, passion, and love have fueled everything we do. Without your support, none of this would be possible.
We are committed to continuing our mission of bringing you the best live entertainment, unforgettable moments, and exciting raffle items — all to support the causes that matter most. Your presence and participation make a real difference, year after year.
A very special thank you goes out to KISS, whose legacy and spirit were the original spark that ignited this journey. They were the catalyst behind it all, and their influence continues to inspire what we do.
Here's to music, community, and making a difference — together.
With gratitude,
The CMF Team
