For 60 years, College Now’s work has been shaped by people who believed in what was possible through education.

We’re grateful to Benesch for being part of that story as a 60th Anniversary Legacy Sponsor. Benesch’s connection to College Now goes back to the beginning, when Robert Coplan was among the Cleveland leaders who helped establish Cleveland Scholarship Programs in 1967.

Nearly six decades later, that same spirit of leadership and investment is still at the heart of this work. We’re grateful to have Benesch with us as we celebrate where we’ve been and look ahead to what’s next.

There’s still time to join us for Invest in Success this Thursday, Oct. 8, from 5–7 p.m. at the City Club of Cleveland! We’d love to have you there as we celebrate 60 years of College Now and the people who have helped make this work possible.
