Our Story

Give! Chagrin Valley was founded in 1955 under the name of The Chagrin Valley Jaycee Wives. While still remaining involved with the Jaycees, In 1988 the name was changed to The Chagrin Valley Women’s League to engage in a broader range of fundraising and community activities. in 2014 the group, once again, rebranded with a fresh and new look: Give! Chagrin Valley.  The name is a representation of who we are today: We are a local non-profit organization focusing on GIVING BACK to the community, specifically women and children by volunteering our time, fundraising and donating resources to local charities we vote on as a group.
