Help Revitalize the Steele Memorial Bandstand/Gazebo on #GivingTuesday 
The Steele Memorial Bandstand/Gazebo has been a gathering place for nearly four decades; a site for countless concerts, open-air author visits, planned marriage proposals, a variety of family celebrations and more. Because of its noteworthy location in Central Park and along Ohio's Most Beautiful Mile, it's often the perfect spot to simply sit and soak in the summer.
 
Over the years, the Steele Memorial Bandstand/Gazebo has yet to receive any renovations or repairs. But, because of its significance to Lakesiders thus far, it's important that the Gazebo can remain a reliable place for events for years to come. That's why on #GivingTuesday, Nov. 28, Lakeside is setting a goal to revitalize the Steele Memorial Bandstand/Gazebo. We only need one thing to ensure it: your support.
 
Your financial support on #GivingTuesday will allow us to make some much-needed repairs and additions. These updates will not only help the Gazebo maintain its beauty, but will increase its functionality. Read more...
