The Future of the Competition<br />
The Endowment Fund of the Cleveland International Piano Competition was established in 1996 by substantial gifts from<br />
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Sievila and Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Manuel. Their goal in creating the Fund was to ensure the<br />
Competition’s financial survival for the benefit of future generations of pianists and for the enjoyment and inspiration of<br />
audiences. Since that time the following friends of the Competition have made contributions through outright gifts and<br />

PIANO/OHIO<br />
ENDOWED BY<br />
LONG-TIME PATRON<br />
Dr. John A. Flower, whose<br />
commitment to education in<br />
Cleveland runs very deep, has<br />
fully endowed the Competition’s<br />
PIANO/OHIO <strong>program</strong>. Dr. Flower<br />
is president emeritus of Cleveland<br />
State University, a current member<br />
of the Competition’s board of directors, and an<br />
accomplished classical pianist.<br />
PIANO/OHIO was created in 2003 at Dr. Flower’s urging.<br />
The <strong>program</strong> invites high school piano students from<br />
across the state to participate in a rigorous competition<br />
designed to test their skill and prepare them for potential<br />
careers as professional pianists. Dr. Flower’s generosity<br />
ensures the <strong>program</strong>’s future in perpetuity.<br />

The Endowment Fund encourages gifts from others who<br />
share our long-range vision. Cash gifts are always<br />
welcome and are a meaningful way to honor the memory of<br />
a loved one. Gifts of securities or other investment vehicles<br />
would also be welcome additions to the endowment.<br />
Various types of planned gifts such as bequests, charitable<br />
gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead<br />
trusts, gifts of retirement plan benefits, and life insurance<br />
also are available. Please contact J. Donald Cairns,<br />
Planned Giving Officer for the Competition, at (216) 535-<br />
