CLE BEE 11

Now in its 11^th year, CLE Bee is not your average gala. This high-energy adult team spelling bee is The Literacy Cooperative’s largest fundraiser! The event brings together spelling, spirited competition, and moments that spotlight the power of literacy in our community.

CLE BEE 10 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.

Watch the highlights from previous years!
