Jumpstarting the Jump Back Ball

The annual Jump Back Ball, next scheduled for Feb. 28, 2015, is one of Playhouse Square’s signature fundraising events. To get the party started, a special kickoff takes place today from 5:30 to 7:30 at Hofbräuhaus Cleveland. Besides the chance to check out the new beer palace, you will get first crack at purchasing tix for the upcoming ball, which are $130 for members of the Playhouse Square Partners group, and a steep $165 for non-members. Bring a new, unused personal care item to donate to the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland and you’ll be entered into a special raffle. (Niesel)
