As the Cleveland Cavaliers begin the defense of their NBA championship against the Golden State Warriors, the team’s newest fans will be outfitted in special “Born to Eat. Sleep. Defend the Land” onesies.
All babies born at five labor and delivery units across the Cleveland Clinic health system will be bundled in the celebratory onesies, thanks to the generous donation from Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin and his wife, Meredith.
Throughout the NBA Finals, anyone can join the Griffins in cheering on the Cavs. Those providing an online gift of $25 or more to Cleveland Clinic Children’s will receive a “Born to Eat. Sleep. Defend the Land” onesie, while also providing one to a newborn in the hospital. To make a gift, visit giving.ccf.org/defendtheland.
