Indian Lake


The JR Memorial Cruise for a Cure at Indian Lake, Ohio raises funds to fight cancer in the name of the late Jerry Richardson. Jerry was a long-time resident of the Indian lake community and was taken far too soon in 2013 due to a malignant brain tumor. Since then a team of Indian Lake residents and volunteers have teamed with Lisa Cisco and Chris Quinn of the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer to try and help find a cure for this awful disease. This year’s JR Memorial marks a meaningful new chapter at Indian Lake. With a new, smaller lakeside venue, we’re creating a more personal experience—one designed to celebrate relationships, recognize generosity, and honor an incredible milestone: $3 million raised in the fight against cancer.
