Campaign Leaders
The work ahead was possible with philanthropic support from a broad group of committed, passionate citizens who love and respect Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and all that it adds to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and region.
More than $4.0 million has been raised to date from generous donors and the CVSR's own reserves. An amazing group of leadership donors joined the campaign and committed themselves to the fundraising effort.
