🎉 **WE HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS!** 🎉

Love Foundation has officially been accepted as a **Tickets for Kids partner!** 💜

This means we will now have opportunities to provide **FREE tickets to local children and families** for sporting events, museums, shows, attractions, and other experiences they may not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy.

For many families, tickets to a game, a day at a museum, or a special family outing simply aren’t in the budget. These experiences may seem small, but they create memories, give children something exciting to look forward to, and allow families to spend meaningful time together.

We are so excited to be able to add these opportunities to the ways we support families throughout Northeast Ohio.

**More information will be coming soon about how families can access available tickets through Love Foundation!** 💜

Breaking Cycles. Restoring Lives. One family at a time.

🏍️🚙 Motorcycles & Classic Cars — WE WANT YOU! 🎃🍬

At the end of the day, this event is ALL ABOUT THE KIDS. ❤️

We want them to walk into a parking lot filled with awesome cars, motorcycles, decorated trunks, mountains of candy, and people from their community who showed up just to make them smile.

You don’t need anything fancy. Bring your motorcycle, classic car, hot rod, muscle car, or favorite ride, decorate it for Halloween, bring some candy, and come have fun with us!

🎃 FREE Community Trunk or Treat
📅 Saturday, October 3, 2026
⏰ 1:00–4:00 PM | Setup begins at 10:00 AM
📍 Mentor High School
💜 Hosted by Love Foundation & Fallen First Responders Down

Let’s fill that parking lot with incredible rides and even bigger hearts. Every vehicle that shows up means another fun stop, another handful of candy, and another memory for a child.

Register your vehicle here:

Come for the cars. Come for the candy. But most importantly, come for the kids. 🧡💜

💜 THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING CHINESE AUCTION DONORS FOR OUR AUGUST 29th SUMMER LUAU💜

We are incredibly grateful to every business, organization, family, and individual who donated a basket, gift card, experience, or item to our Chinese Auction.

Because of your generosity, we were able to put together an incredible selection of prizes while raising funds to support the work of Love Foundation.

Every donated basket and every item mattered. When a business says yes to a donation, you’re doing more than giving us something to raffle—you’re helping us provide basic needs, resources, support, and hope to women, children, and families in our community.

We know businesses receive donation requests constantly, which makes your willingness to support our mission mean even more.

To every single donor: THANK YOU. 💜

Thank you for believing in what we do.
Thank you for supporting our community.
And thank you for helping us continue Breaking Cycles. Restoring Lives.

We truly could not do this without you. 💜

Every event we hold, every family we help, and every step we take toward breaking cycles and restoring lives is possible because people and businesses like you choose to care.

We simply cannot do this without you. Thank you for believing in our mission, supporting our community, and helping us continue to make a difference. 💜

Breaking Cycles. Restoring Lives.

This family-friendly event supports Love Foundation’s mission to empower women, protect children, and help individuals and families break cycles of abuse, trauma, violence, and crisis by providing basic needs, resources, support, and pathways toward safety and stability.

Bench Press • Deadlift • Squats

💪 YOUTH COMPETITION
Push-Ups • Sit-Ups • Pull-Ups
Events may be adjusted based on age.

💜 HOW PARTICIPATION WORKS

⭐ Raise more than $150 in donations and your entry fee will be waived!

Competitors can represent their gym, and the gym with the highest overall score will take home the Strongest Gym Championship Belt and keep it for one year — along with the bragging rights!
