Cincinnati Events this Weekend

Share the joy this holiday season by donating toys, warm clothing, and essential items for our children and their families in need. Your generosity can make a lasting difference, bringing smiles and brightness to their holiday season!

Your donation is more than just a gift — it’s a gesture of hope and kindness that can transform a family’s holiday season. Many children face the holidays without the warmth of a new coat or the joy of a simple toy. By giving, you’re providing comfort, spreading happiness, and showing families in need that they are not alone. Every item you donate brings light to their lives and reminds them that there is a community that cares.

Four ways to give:

• Sponsor A Child or # of Children


• Give A Monetary/Gift Card Donation


• Purchase Items For Our Resource Center


• Volunteer & Help Us Pack/Deliver Gifts

Join us every Tuesday for FREE tai chi classes with instructor Ralph Dehner, for cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones! Classes take place noon in The Christ Hospital Cancer Center Activity Room, Level D, of the main hospital (2139 Auburn Avenue). Ralph may also guide participants outside as the weather permits. Here's what patient Betty has to say about how tai chi has helped her: “I have seen my energy level return faster than other members of my support group who were not participating in tai chi. My hair grew back in on its own. My appetite has increased on its own. However, I strongly believe that my memory, ability to focus, balance and energy level would not be where they are today if it were not for my practice of tai chi. It has been great having a helping hand along for my journey back to health.” Registration is not required! Simply come as you're able. Call 513-585-4002 with questions.
