Sixth Annual Benefit Clambake

Open Doors Academy hosts this casual fall fundraiser featuring a traditional clambake dinner with an open bar, live music, and views of the river. The evening includes a raffle with prizes and a program celebrating ODA scholars and families. This year, the organization is presenting its Luminary Award to Roger Frank, whose leadership helped make the clambake a beloved community tradition. Parking is complimentary, and casual attire is welcome. The clambake supports Open Doors Academy's year-round afterschool and summer programs, which serve over 1,900 young people across Northern Ohio. These programs provide academic tutoring, career exploration, mentoring relationships, and opportunities for discovery. Whether you're looking for a fun family-friendly evening out or wanting to directly support local youth, ticket proceeds go straight toward expanding access to these services for area students.
