The Cleveland Foundation’s the Catch Meaning Fund supports “causes that honor the magnetic spirit and boundless potential of two exceptional young men, Alex Doody and Josh Weil,” classmates who died last year in a tragic accident.

The inaugural Catch Meaning Fest, which takes place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 28, at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica, will commemorate the two friends and teammates. All proceeds from the event will go to the Catch Meaning Fund at the Cleveland Foundation.

Headliners include A$ap Ferg, Tory Lanez, Joey Bada$$ and New Breed Brass Band. The festival will also feature two local stages featuring acts such as Aaron Cohen Band, The Whiskey Hollow, Shadow Division, LMNTL, Members of the Hawken School Jazz Band, Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s All-City Arts Choir and Jazz Band and more.

There will also be specialty foods and desserts, “monumental” parade puppets, interactive activities and more. 
Tickets for the event go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday at ticketmaster.com. A limited number of tickets will be available for $25. VIP tickets will be available for purchase; they’ll include an after show party at Music Box Super Club.
