Gene and Gloria Leonard '72 enjoyed an unforgettable night with the Cleveland Cavaliers after winning this exclusive experience at our LCCC Foundation Funding Futures event!

They spent the game in the Joe Tait Perch alongside Cavs radio voice Tim Alcorn and Cavs legend Jim Chones, taking in the action from one of the best seats in the house. While the Cavs came up short, the Leonards were fully immersed in the energy of the game and had an incredible time.

Thank you to Gene and Gloria for their generous support of the LCCC Foundation. We are also deeply grateful to Tim Alcorn, proud member of the LCCC Class of 1983 and 2025 LCCC Foundation Commodore Hall of Fame inductee, and to the Cleveland Cavaliers for making this special experience possible.
