Mitch's Mission: Young cancer survivor playing it forward with UC

The Enquirer/Sheila Vilvens

There’s serious intent behind the laughter and smiles found at this playdate.

“Playdate with the Bearcats” returns for a sixth year at the University of Cincinnati Recreation Center 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12. Money raised from the event is used to help send children to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital summer camp, held at Camp Joy in Clarksville, Ohio, for pediatric cancer and blood disease patients and survivors.

The Playdate is the major fundraising vehicle for Mitch’s Mission, founded by Mitch Stone and his family.
