CDCRC Gems

Support the Community Artist League

CDCRC GemsThe CDCRC is collaborating with the BRD House Music and Arts Company to develop the Community Artist League.

The Community Artist League is an initiative to Develop Artists and Build Inner Community Opportunities.

The Community Artist League will function much like an athletic league except that it is designed to develop and promote local school-aged musicians rather than athletes. It will also help “fill the gap” in providing music instruction and performance opportunities for those students who would otherwise be left out as schools, under increasing financial stress, are forced to trim or eliminate music programs.

Please support the Community Artist League by attending the Showcase of Musicians on Wednesday, June 11. Tickets are available at The Community Artist League.

For more information, please see the event flyer.

“We Are Not Alone” – We Need Your Help

Since we first opened our doors, the CDCRC has used whatever resources we could gather to be engaged in our community and to dream of a better life for ourselves, our families and our neighbors.

Looking ahead, our dreams are undaunted, our passions remain, the challenges grow, and the need to march forward, arm-in-arm, is greater than ever before.

You have been with our every step. You are with us still. We need your help.

Please donate whatever portion of your “harvest” that you can afford to promote and sustain our programs and initiatives. You will be planting good seeds on fertile ground at the CDCRC.

Donations may be processed through PayPal or by downloading and mailing a Donor Form.

The CDCRC is a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable organization. That means that money and items donated to the CDCRC are tax deductible. We know that’s not why you give, but the potential tax deductions do give a little bit back to you in return.

We thank you for your financial support of the CDCRC and we wish you peace, prosperity and power in this Harvest season!
