the project
To read the full project proposal presented to the City of Lorain Leaders, click here: The Grind League Court Renovation Art Proposal .
The Grind League Art Proposal project/program is an extension of the flagship event the organization has hosted since instituted. This project will increase value to surrounding neighborhoods, brighten views of the park, increase participation, and uplift the overall outlook on our communities by bringing artwork that represents the people of the community. With support from local organizations and national brands, aid and resources have been provided to assist us in giving our city a structured plan for painting & renovating our park courts and regaining our youth's attention to community care and development. This is part of The Grind League's "Community Togetherness initiative", uplifting the areas we use for activities and events.
We plan to begin the process the week of August 6th! Donations will be accepted throughout the process as day of and in progress expenses may occur. Please contact (216) 414-6853 to make a donation in-person or via Chase Bank deposit.
The fourth annual Community Togetherness Fest. & Grind League 3x3 will be held September 2nd through 3rd, 2023, Labor Day weekend, at Oakwood Park, Lorain, Ohio.

why we're doing it
We are facilitating a void in local recreation that includes culture, entertainment, community, and healthy physical fitness within the city of Lorain and throughout Lorain County, Ohio. We come together for community information & resources at Oakwood Park in a festive cultural environment. This is something unlike any community event that has taken place in recent years. The fourth consecutive effort aims to continue that goal along with community peace and positivity. This also fills a void in the city of Lorain as a two-day event held in a park during Labor Day weekend.

Big thank you to all who have supported these past three years! Now we are working with the city of Lorain to renovate and paint the courts. Please help us fund this endeavor as most grants will not support this action because it is a public property we want to renovate and improve. The money raised last year on this page will now be directed to this project! Thank you for your support please share this information!!!
