More than a makeover

For the person who puts
everyone else first.

A caregiver. A quiet community hero. A person rebuilding after a difficult season. Someone whose kindness leaves a mark.

Inspired by the heart of the Queen City, the Cincinnati Makeover Project is being created to celebrate one person with a personalized experience supported by local businesses. Tell us who they are, what makes them special, and what this opportunity would mean to them.

With love, from Cincy

From the banks of the Ohio to the neighborhoods we call home. Good people. Local businesses. One shared gift.

Coming together for good
