Merry Go Round

The 73rd Annual Merry Go Round benefiting The Childhood League Center was held virtually and starred celebrity host Nina West. Guests learned about how the Center has navigated challenges created by the pandemic, and heard directly from Center families and staff about the life-transforming intervention services provided in-person and virtually throughout the past year. Members of The Childhood League entertained the audience with a tribute performance, and Nina West rounded out the successful evening by reading a story. Thanks to many sponsors and donors, including the American Electric Power Foundation and Nationwide Insurance, the gala event raised much-needed funds for the Center’s early childhood educational programs and therapeutic services for children with special needs.
