ABOUT FRIARS CLUB:
Friars Club was established in Over-the-Rhine in 1860 to help German immigrant parents keep their children safe and busy after school. During the Great Depression, a new facility was built at 65 West McMillan that continued to serve not only inner-city youth but children all over the greater Cincinnati area. As the mission evolved and the number of people served grew, the Friars Club landed in St. Bernard where it operates today. Staff and volunteers continue the tradition of serving the special
needs of Cincinnati’s at-risk children through organized sports, education, nutrition and fitness, which fuels empowerment.
