Fun Photo Friday: What Could Be Cuter?

Carina and Cassiopeia
What could be cuter than two baby Lemurs? I am not sure, but I can tell you what is better than seeing an adorable picture of the two newcomers to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo....seeing them in person!

Why not bring along the whole family on June 25th and get to the Zoo early for our Race for Kids & Wellness Festival. Animals are always most active early in the morning, so you will have the unique opportunity of seeing the Zoo's many lively animals before the park opens to the public. And in the meantime, you will be getting a healthy start to your Saturday!

Race for Kids & Wellness Festival begins at 7:30am on June 25th at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. All proceeds benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland...meaning it will be fun and charitable all at the same time!

Races include a 5k run and 1 mile walk/fun and there is a family registration rate for the 1 mile! And the best part...besides the baby Lemurs, of course... DISCOUNTED ZOO ADMISSION IS INCLUDED WITH YOUR REGISTRATION FEE!

Register today on our Race for Kids page!

What on Earth is a Twestival?

The Twestival in Cleveland is part of an international event that brings Tweeps together to meet each other face to face and support a worthy cause in the process. This year's Twestival will be held at AMP 150 on Thursday, March 24th from 5-9pm.

All proceeds from the event will benefit We Run This City, a collaborative program run by The Y of Greater Cleveland, Cleveland Department of Public Health, and the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. During a 14-week program, students from CMSD schools train to run the Rite Aid Marathon, showing that they can realize their goals.

As a big believer in promoting healthy lifestyles in our Clubs, we are excited to see a program that truly challenges youth to push beyond their boundaries and reach their goals will benefit from such a fun, social engagement! I don't know that I could ever run a marathon, so I tip my hat to those kids that are in the midst of training! 

So what are you waiting for? For only $10, you can have fun meeting hundreds of others in the Twitterverse, all while supporting a good cause. @Clevekids (that's us) will be there and you should be too!
