2003 marked 25 years of service to the Glenville community. The past 25 years have been filled with challenges, opportunities and accomplishments. Glenville has always been a neighborhood of culture and diversity that has contributed greatly to the achievement of the many successes over this past quarter century. With the continued support of Glenville's stakeholders, we will lead the way as one of Cleveland's premier neighborhoods.

The 7th Annual Legends & Legacies induction ceremony underscores the many accomplishments and contributions made by Glenville's current and past residents. This year six individuals were honored for their distinguished contributions to Glenville's history. They join an illustrious list of past honorees. The evening was complimented by live entertainment and a silent auction. The annual fundraiser netted $32,000.

By partnering with street clubs, police, local schools and financial institutions, and other public and private entities, GDC is able to impact all facets of the community. Because of these partnerships we have made tremendous gains.
