Charlotte County Homeless Coalition 2012 Derby Days
 

The Kentucky Derby themed fund-raising campaign, CCHC Derby, challenges our supporters and volunteers to creatively raise funds through events and activities planned by the team members. This campaign raises vital operating funds to support the services provided by the Homeless Coalition.

Our goal is to raise a combined total of $80,000. The race begins at the Starting Gate party on January 24, 2012 and runs to the finish, a Derby Day Party and victory celebration on May 5, 2012, at the Isles Yacht Club with live viewing of the Kentucky Derby. Prizes are awarded to the top “horses” (teams) that finish with a Win, Place or Show.

The Homeless Coalition is still seeking teams willing to participate in the 2012 Derby.  If you, your employer, or your friends are interested, please call Tina Figliuolo, Director Development & Community Relations at 941-627-4313 ext. 118 or email Tina.Figliuolo@cchomelesscoalition.org.
