Indians build lasting legacy with charitable ties

CLEVELAND -- Like the generations of a family who share a table for a Thanksgiving meal, the Cleveland Indians' relationships with some of its local charity partners stand the test of time.

Charities like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland, whose partnership with the Indians dates back nearly 25 years, and Our Lady of the Wayside, which began in the 1970s.

On Sunday afternoon, generations of residents who benefit from those charities, along with three other local charity organizations, joined together at Progressive Field's terrace club for a Thanksgiving meal that fed roughly 375 individuals.

The Boys & Girls Clubs is a nationwide organization that strives to enable young people in need to reach their full potential as productive and responsible citizens by providing ways to learn and grow, develop relationships and inspire hope and opportunity.
