YOU
DID IT!
We
could not let the opportunity pass to say one more time-THANK YOU VERY
VERY MUCH FOR MAKING CRI'S $750,000 CHALLENGE GRANT A TREMENDOUS
SUCCESS.
Thanks
to the extremely generous outpouring of support, we successfully raised
100% of
the funds needed to secure the $750,000 Challenge Grant. CRI is now
positioned:
· to
pay off the boathouse,
· create
an endowment fund,
· expand
our community outreach programs and;
· most
importantly-become debt free.
None
of these achievements would have been possible had it not been for the
Anonymous Donor who presented us with this extraordinary opportunity and
you,
our more than 500 loyal members and donors who went the extra mile for
CRI. It
is this commitment at every level of the organization that has led us
down this
path of success. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
