We’re coming together virtually on June 14 to thank our neighbors and show love for our Crown Point community! We’ve seen so many people step up to help others during this time of crisis—and we think that’s worth celebrating!
Join us for a short online program where we’ll recognize some incredible organizations who have been nominated by neighbors in the community for their amazing generosity and heart during this period of intense need.
You’ll also have the chance to participate in a fun online auction and bid on some incredible items—all proceeds will help us find additional ways to support our community.
If you have any questions, please contact us at crownpointstrong@gmail.com.
