Ascend: 60th Anniversary Signature Event

Join College Now for Ascend, our signature 60th anniversary celebration and the next evolution of our beloved Bags & Bourbon fundraiser. Taking place on Thursday, May 20, 2027, from 5–8 p.m. at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown, Ascend is inspired by the journey of reaching new heights and will bring together alumni, supporters, community leaders and corporate partners for an unforgettable evening celebrating six decades of transforming lives through education.

Guests will enjoy an elevated evening featuring the experiences that made Bags & Bourbon a favorite—including bags, bourbon and plenty of opportunities to connect—along with memorable moments celebrating College Now’s history and impact across Northeast Ohio.
