Be Part of the Story!

Your generosity helps write the next chapter for Urban students and families.

Join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026, right here on campus for Urban Community School's annual Benefit, an inspiring evening of friends, food, and community, all in support of our students and families.

Since 1968, Urban Community School has been educating children on Cleveland's near west side, with each generation adding its own chapter to the story of opportunity, resilience, and community that defines Urban.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, last year's Benefit raised a record-breaking $1,136,632. This year, we're setting our sights even higher with a goal of $1.15 million to continue providing the high-quality education and wraparound support that define the Urban experience.

Our 2026 theme, The Power of Our Stories: One Community, Many Voices, celebrates the voices, experiences, and journeys that make Urban such a special place. Every member of our community, from students and families to educators and supporters, has a story that strengthens the whole.

Join us as we celebrate the stories that shape UCS and the powerful impact made possible through your generosity.
