·A total of 75 puppies have been adopted via the Browns Puppy Pound this year. Each practice day, the Browns, via social media, will announce open sign ups to meet local animals in need of homes from the Northeast Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). Due to health and safety concerns, walk-up adoptions are not available at this time. Since the program’s launch in 2015, 570 puppies from the Northeast Ohio SPCA have been adopted by Browns fans. The Northeast Ohio SPCA is a non-profit no-kill pet shelter located in Parma. With each adoption, Sugardale will provide new owners with a puppy starter kit (while supplies last), as well as a station for families to take their first family photo with their new puppy.

·Today’s Browns Live: Training Camp Community Spotlight featured one of the founding partners of theStay In the Game! Network, the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). State Superintendent of Public Instruction Paolo DeMaria discussed ODE’s important role in creating an environment where each child is challenged, prepared and empowered for his/her future through access to excellent and high-quality education. Ohio’s five-year strategic plan for education – Each Child, Our Future– lays the groundwork to make this a reality in Ohio. Inspired by exciting progress made locally, the Cleveland Browns Foundation, in collaboration with ODE and Proving Ground at Harvard University, launched the statewide “Stay in the Game! Keep Learning, Every day” Network in 2019. In the 2020-21 school year, the “Stay In the Game!” Network will partner with 14 school districts, benefitting nearly 90,000 students in Ohio. An adaptation of “Get 2 School, Stay In The Game!” the name change reflects the current environment where schools may not necessarily be able to host in-school learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No matter the circumstances, the Network will continue to encourage and support students to maintain a strong educational-going mindset to keep learning, every day, aligned with its overall goal to help end chronic absenteeism and provide all students equal opportunities to be successful.
