Clann Caladvwlch's Path of Service |
CHARITABLE EFFORT Jaycee's Christmas Cheer Since Dec 2010, Clann C has annually helped with chaperoning underprivileged children through Target with the W/S Jaycees, then wrapping the chosen gifts so these children have presents to give their families for Christmas. Ronald McDonald House - Santas WorkShop Every Christmas Eve day since 2012 Clann C and Create the Change have pre-cooked and baked the Christmas morning breakfast items, as well as packaged/wrapped donated gifts for the parents and siblings of kids in Brenner's Children's Hospital (and other area hospitals) to allow Christian volunteers to be with their families. Bowl for Kids Sake From 2009 - 2016 Clann C participated in this Big Brother Big Sisters fundraiser in High Point, NC raising over $2200.00 in Greensboro and Winston-Salem events. The Big Sweep In 2014 Clann C and Create the Change began participating in this national park, river, lake effort by being the team assigned to take care of Bolton Park, local to the Clann C covendom. Strawberry Cheesecake In Oct 2009 RavenHarte created Cabaret for the Cure, as a Passionately Pink for the Cure fundraising team for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. RavenHarte was the Organizer of the fundraising effort and produced the "Strawberry Cheesecake for the Cure" burlesque & belly dance event, which was our main fundraising effort. This show generated $1500.00 in ticket proceeds for Passionately Pink and another $510.00 in raffle and merchandise proceeds went to the NC Triad Affiliate of Susan G Komen for the Cure. In 2010 Cabaret for the Cure held 2 Strawberry Cheesecake events and an online auction raising a total of $2559.00 which was evenly split between the same 2 organizations. In 2011, RavenHarte disconnected Cabaret for the Cure from Susan G Komen Foundation due to the restrictions they enacted on Passionately Pink teams. Cabaret for the Cure became an independent grassroots fundraising organization at that time, concentrating all efforts on a single event to raise funds for the Save the Tatas foundation. We achieved a total of $2200.00 for them. In 2013, Cabaret for the Cure became Cabaret Catalyste and raised funds for both Winston-Salem's new LGBTQI center, North Star, and Planned Parenthood, continuing our mission to advocate for women and the LGBTQI.
