A non-profit organization providing opportunities for those with special needs to interact with volunteers in a safe and fun game of baseball.  Two seasons are held each year at no cost to the players.  The organization holds several fundraising events to help with maintenance, equipment and registration fees.  Erin is a board member and invites you to come out and volunteer or watch!

    During the COVID-19 pandemic,  Jupmode, local to Toledo, launched a campaign to help local businesses remain HERE FOR GOOD by selling shirts.  Each business or non-profit was able to design a shirt, free of charge, all sales supported the business.   Engage participated with the development of the green shirt above & donated all proceeds to The Miracle League NWO.  Engage continues to support MLNWO with new shirt designs.

Engaging People, Inspiring Change. 

Currently an individual member, Erin formerly served on the advisory board & as the non-profit palooza chair. Engage Studio Architects proudly supports Epic Toledo's goals to develop future business & community leaders to attract & retain diverse young talent to the Toledo region.

At the initiation of Engage Studio Architects, Erin was approached by students from BGSU's architecture program for participation in their annual career fair.  Knowing that Engage was not in a position to hire students at the time, a student design charrette for the Engage Studio Architects logo was held. We are so grateful to our students & judges for sharing their time, creativity and insight with thoughtful designs.  Take a look!
