On Friday, August 12, Child Guidance & Family Solutions (CG&FS) will host its seventh annual “Growing Up Akron” fundraiser. If you have attended the event in the past, you know this isn’t your typical fundraiser.

Roxxymoron is back to take the stage again this year, and rock the brewery with their music. Food offerings include Swenson’s Drive In Restaurants, Mustard Seed Market & Cafe, Nuevo Modern Mexican & Tequila Bar, Retro Dog, Old Carolina Barbecue Company, Diamond Deli, Ivan’s Catering, Difeo & Sons, Tangier Event & Entertainment Center, Gino’s Pizza, Hilton Garden Inn Akron, Bake at 350 Bakery, LLC, A&W, Ken Stewart’s Grille, Mayfield Road Creamery, Shearer’s Potato Chips and Snacks, Mary Coyle Ice Cream and NORKA Beverage. Rubber City Rollergirls, Mystery Grab Bags, a Chinese auction and other special attractions will add to the fun.

Remember: It’s not just another fundraiser. This is Akron. So leave the tux at home. Don’t forget to pick up some Akron attire from Rubber City Clothing to wear to the event; mention Growing Up Akron and they will donate a portion of the sale to CG&FS.
