50th Anniversary Event

CRi Champions of the Year

In honor of our 50th Anniversary, CRi presents the Champions of the Year philanthropic campaign! This 12-week philanthropic initiative is a campaign where community champions, just like you, come together to raise awareness and funds in support of our community in need.

In Honor of Our 50th Year...

Launched during our 50th Anniversary, the Champions of the Year philanthropic campaign aimed to honor caregivers in the community. 

Champions are a glowing beacon for gathering a strong network of like-minded visionaries - all with the belief that we are stronger together. Champions and their supporters desire to help others receive the same respect and independence that they exercise in their own lives.  

Candidates and their hand-selected team members competed to raise a minimum of $7,500 per team. 

Where will the funds go?

All funds raised will go toward supporting individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and mental health needs.

Specifically, funds raised from our Champions of the Year philanthropic campaign are used to:

  • Provide quality services and safe, secure, and comfortable housing to help empower individuals with disabilities and mental health needs to live as high a quality of life as possible.
  • Research to develop programs that help our individuals experience greater choice, respect, and independence in their local communities.
  • Find innovative ways to meet the needs of the people we support in the communities where they live and work.

CRi is invested in finding innovative ways to meet the needs of the people we support in the communities where they live and work.

Nominations are Closed!

We thank you for giving passionate, life-changing caregivers the opportunity to shine! These individuals are making differences in the lives of others as members of your community.

Candidates of all walks of life will be celebrated on September 27 at the 50th Anniversary Gala & CRi Honors.

This will be an elegant evening of philanthropy, celebration, appreciation and recognition. We thank you for your support and help, allowing us to continue positively impacting the lives of our individuals.
