Merry Mingle 2026

9th Annual Holiday Party with Heart!

Join AAF-Akron, BBB Akron, Canton Creative Meetup and the National Sales & Marketing Executives (NSME) for our annual holiday charity networking event to benefit Grace House Akron.

Grace House provides a loving home for indigent, unsheltered, and abandoned individuals at the end of life. The home provides safe shelter, care with dignity and compassion, and a nurturing environment for individuals with terminal illnesses. There are too many individuals in our community, who are at the end of life, with nowhere to go, and no one to care for them. Grace House believes that everyone deserves to die in the presence of care, compassion, and dignity, and that no one should die alone.

Tickets (100% of all tickets sales benefit the charity)
Professionals: $20
Students: $10
You do not need to be a member of any of the hosting organizations to attend.

Help create a lasting legacy for students. Consider giving to the Susan B. Kosich Endowed Scholarship for Marketing Communications. The scholarship is open to all sophomore, junior and senior college students in Northeast Ohio pursuing a bachelor’s degree in a communications-related field. A $2,500 scholarship is awarded annually at the American Advertising Awards show. All contributions are tax deductible. Learn more.
