CRi Launches Virtual Embrace 5K & Fun Run Fundraising Challenge

CRi Launches Virtual Embrace Fundraising Challenge

May 1 - June 13, 2020 »

Now, more than ever, we need your generous support. Since 1975, community members like you have sustained CRi. While CRi has faced many challenges in the intervening years, none of them have been anything like those we are currently experiencing today. Our own frontline heroes have risen to the challenge of this very unique moment in history & have done whatever it takes to keep everyone safe & healthy. The challenge is huge, the requirements unprecedented. We have been proving every day that we are up to the challenge…but we also know we need your help. YOU CAN HELP by embracing CRi.

CRi’s programs depend on the funds raised at events. For the past several years, the EmbRACE 5K & Fun Run was CRi’s largest annual in-person fundraising event. Now, with COVID-19 depleting our coffers at a rate no one could have predicted, CRi needs to raise $50,000. Please help today.
