CINCINNATI, OH – FEBRUARY 2, 2015 – The Junior League of Cincinnati (JLC) will host its annual CinSation gala on Saturday, February 28th at the Cincinnati Masonic Center in Downtown Cincinnati.

“CinSation is the perfect moment to celebrate not only the JLC’s 95th anniversary but the unique people and places that make up Cincinnati,” said Susan Shelton, President of the JLC. “The JLC is so proud to be part of this community and this year’s theme provides a platform to celebrate our history of involvement and impact in this city. We look forward to honoring our members at CinSation, particularly those from the 1940s, 50s and 60s”

The JLC’s footprint on the Cincinnati community has been evident throughout the past 95 years; incubating or accelerating organizations such as The Children’s Theatre, The Cincinnati Art Museum Docent Program, ProKids, MindPeace, Fernside, and The Cincinnati Children’s Museum.
