Says Idea Center is Exemplary Project, and Great Story

Well-known for his support of innovation, Peter B. Lewis successfully built Cleveland-based Progressive Insurance into an industry powerhouse, and has volunteered his time, talent, energy and wealth to help nonprofit organizations in Northeastern Ohio and across the nation.

Speaking of his support for the campaign for Idea Center Peter Lewis said, “This is an exemplary project and a great story. Playhouse Square and ideastream are collaborating to create something much greater than either organization could create alone.”

“Peter’s gift of $1 million in support of the campaign for Idea Center at Playhouse Square is the largest commitment from an individual received to date,” said Robert S. Reitman who serves as co-chair of the campaign with Thomas W. Adler, Henry L. Meyer III and Jon H. Outcalt. “We couldn’t be more grateful for his generosity and for his leadership.”
