Winter in our region can be brutally cold. 

Long pants & shirts that fit, warm sweaters & hoodies, socks without holes, winter coats, hats & gloves, are vital to the health and well-being of every child . . . but for families struggling to make ends meet, providing these necessities for their growing children can be out of reach.

Our Gear Up for Winter initiative will supply 35,000 local children with cold weather essentials, in an effort to protect kids from the dangerous elements outside and help them stay warm inside, too.

  • Un-Gala: Family Day

    Sat, Nov 4: 10:00 am – 12:30 pm

    This fun-filled morning of philanthropy & hands-on service brings families together in the spirit of giving.

    Helpers of all ages can also enjoy snacks, face-painting, balloon animals, special guests, games & activities which support deeper learning about C2C’s mission.

    We’ll wrap up with a social tailgate-style lunch and moving Impact presentation.

    Un-Gala: Family Day anchors our annual engagement program for members of the Family Leadership Circle. Members play a critical role in sustaining our mission and receive insider updates and special invitations throughout the year.

    Our “Homecoming” theme for this year’s Un-Gala is meaningful, as we hope that many of our FLC member families will “come on home” to celebrate with us.  After a few years of uncertainty with big events, we’re so excited to return to the scale & impact of our previous Un-Galas!

    Whether you’re a new member (welcome!) or a long-time supporter, whether you’re a regular volunteer or maybe you’ve not even been to the new Giving Factory yet, we appreciate you and we hope to see you soon!
