30th Annual CRC Tea fundraiser generates over 7,000 in donations.

The Community Resource Center (CRC) held its 30th Annual CRC Tea on April 5 at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, successfully raising over 7,000. This significant sum will be allocated to the center’s comprehensive services, which include emergency shelter for domestic violence victims, a food pantry, housing assistance, legal advocacy, and counseling, among other essential services. The event, which has become a hallmark of the organization’s fundraising efforts, underscores the critical need for community support in addressing various social issues.

According to a press release, the CRC expressed its heartfelt gratitude to the donors, partners, and volunteers who contribute to its mission. The continued support from the community empowers the organization to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and families in need. Highlighted in the announcement were special acknowledgments of significant challenge gifts provided by supporters, including Ella and Han Helders, Patricia Moore, and Helmut Kiffmann, along with an anonymous local family. Their generosity played a key role in enhancing the event’s fundraising efforts.

The Tea Committee and Auction Committee, instrumental in organizing the event, were co-chaired by Paulette Khoury, Marie Lampone, Kathy Ling, and Ricka Sprunk. Their leadership was pivotal in attracting attendees and promoting the event to the broader community, ensuring its success in fundraising.

The CRC remains committed to its mission of providing essential services to those facing hardship in the community. The funds raised during the CRC Tea will directly support a variety of programs that help individuals and families regain stability in their lives. This includes critical support services designed to address urgent crises, as well as ongoing assistance for recovery and self-sufficiency.
