2024 UNCF Mayor's Luncheon – Cleveland – UNCF
In celebration of the 80th anniversary of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), we proudly present to you the 3rd annual Cleveland Mayor’s Luncheon. This event will unite over 500 civic and business leaders, education professionals, and guests from all across Ohio with the shared objective of advancing our community.
The 2024 Mayor’s Luncheon is an event dedicated to providingcrucial financial support and awareness to UNCF’s mission. UNCF positively transforms lives by enabling students from underrepresented communities to access a college education – a gateway to fulfilling careers, engaged citizenship, and service to our nation.
Over the past 80 years, UNCF has been able to help successfully graduate students, most of whom come from households earning less than $43,000 per year. With $100 million allocated towards scholarships, these students can attend more than 1,100 schools nationwide, including a notable network of 37 HBCUs. This enables them to focus solely on their education instead of worrying about their financial backgrounds.
Despite the significant strides that UNCF has made, there is still a long way to go. We remain committed to creating opportunities for more students from similar economic backgrounds to access higher education. As an esteemed member of our community, we would like to invite you to join us in this noble mission. Your support as a partner, is an investment in building a workforce of teachers, business leaders, attorneys, and potentially the next mayor of Cleveland.
Thank you for your unwavering support of UNCF, its students, and the colleges it serves. Your dedication is the catalyst for the advancement of our community. Together, we are actively making a difference, steering towards a brighter future for all.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Thousands of FirstEnergy customers are experiencing power outages during Wednesday’s excessive heat.
The majority of the outages are located in Lakewood, Berea, Olmsted Falls and Olmsted Township.

FirstEnergy release the following statement about the outages:
We understand how disruptive and frustrating a power outage can be — especially during a heat wave — and we sincerely appreciate our customers’ patience as crews work to restore service. The outages in the Olmsted Falls area were caused by a pole fire, along with an equipment issue at a nearby substation. We have restored power to about half of the customers impacted and our crews will be working around the clock to restore power to the remaining customers.

Jacob deGrom pitched seven strong innings and the Texas Rangers took advantage of a bone-headed play by Cleveland rookie outfielder Cooper Ingle on Tuesday night to beat the Guardians 4-2 and extend their winning streak to six games.
DeGrom (7-5) allowed a two-run homer to Kyle Manzardo in the first before turning dominant. The right-hander gave up a leadoff single in the second before retiring 18 of the next 19 batters, improving to 4-0 in June.
Joc Pederson hit a two-run homer and Josh Jung added a solo shot as the AL West-leading Rangers improved to 7-2 on their road trip.
They got a big assist in the seventh inning when Ingle, making just his second major league start in the outfield, lost track of the number of outs and tossed a live ball into the stands, allowing the Rangers to take a 3-2 lead.
With a runner at second and one out, Ingle caught a routine fly ball hit by Rangers left fielder Alejandro Osuna for the second out. Thinking it was the third out, Ingle looked at the ball in his glove before throwing it over the protective netting to fans.
The umpires immediately ruled the ball was dead, and Ezequiel Duran was awarded home plate.
Pederson connected for his 14th homer — and 11th since May 26 — off Tanner Bibee (2-9) to tie it 2-all in the third.
Jung’s ninth homer made it 4-2 in the eighth.
Manzardo gave the Guardians a 2-0 lead in the first with his 10th homer.
Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was pulled before his at-bat in the first inning because of back discomfort. The five-time All-Star missed 19 games earlier this season with back spasms.
