Trick or Tea, Cleveland’s most spooktacular event, is Sunday, Oct. 27.
Children are warmly encouraged to attend in Halloween costumes as the event location, Platinum on the hotel’s seventh floor, will be transformed into a Halloween fantasyland. Guests can enjoy festive activities, including a balloon artist, face painter and pumpkin decorating. The menu is deliciously designed for guests of all ages and features delectable petite sandwiches, spooky delicacies and a selection of child-friendly beverages.
In an effort to support Coats for Kids as it provides winter coats to area children in need, The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland suggests children attending Trick or Tea are welcome to bring along a new or gently- used coat to donate.
Trick or Tea is priced at $68 USD per guest, including tax and gratuity. Tickets can be purchased online only.
Event valet parking rate: $16 per vehicle during the event.
Coats for Kids has been feeling the love from the community for the last 38 years, but especially after the February 3 fire that destroyed our warehouse.
Where would be without Mike Trivisonno, Carmen Angelo and Seth Williams, of The Mike Trivisonno Show and Newsradio WTAM 1100? They have done so much to support Coats for Kids not only since the fire and hosting the Fill the Truck and benefit shows, but always. We are indebted to all of them.
We are also tremendously grateful to:
Donors for Fire Relief
Many thanks, too, to the numerous individuals who have made monetary donations online.
Fill the Truck Donors

We are thankful for the radio sponsors of the Fill the Truck broadcast:

Coats for Kids extends its deepest heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of Matthew P. Figgie, who passed away Aug. 25, 2018.
Matthew’s generosity and willingness to always give back and do for others will never be forgotten.
Matthew was Founder, Chairman and CEO of Figgie Capital, Chairman of Clark-Reliance Corporation, Chairman of The Figgie Foundation and Chairman of Fairmount Center of the Arts.
Matthew was not only a proud father, respected businessman and advocate of the arts, but also a devoted community crusader.
The Figgie Foundation supports and contributes to local organizations each year. For the past several years, The Figgie Foundation has been Coats for Kids’ largest contributor.
Thank you, Matthew, for caring so much about, and doing so much for, the children of northeast Ohio and so many others.
Rest in peace, dear friend.
