CLE BEE 12

CLE Bee is not your average gala. This high-energy adult team spelling bee puts the F-U-N in fundraiser! The event brings together spelling, spirited competition, and moments that spotlight the power of literacy in our community. CLE Bee 12 will be in Fall 2027.

CLE BEE Highlights

Here’s how it works:

Teams of three compete by writing their answers on whiteboard. In each preliminary round, teams spell 10-15 challenging words and the top team advances to the final showdown! One team will leave with bragging rights and the title of CLE Bee Champion. Beyond the buzz of competition, CLE Bee highlights the state of literacy in our region and the impact of your support. Join us for a night of camaraderie, celebration, and a chance to help close the literacy gap in Cuyahoga County.

Thank you to our Teams and Sponsors!
