Progress is...

a neighborhood that rises to meet you.

All over Cleveland, Neighborhood Progress is helping community development corporations to

resourcefully configure each neighborhood to respond to the real needs of residents.

Together, we generate big ideas, advocate for them, fund them and promote them.

A time-honored "tradition" of the Gay Games and International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics Association, Pink Flamingo is when the swim teams take to the pool to entertain. Outrageous costumes, music, dance, synchronized swimming with humor and satire make for a fun night where the only rules are no sequins, no feathers and no nudity.
