WELCOME TO THE CRCC CHARITIES PAGE.
Over the past 47 years the Cedar Rapids Corvette Club has supported
numerous charities and helped our community in various ways. CRCC has
raised money for charities by sponsoring or participating in car shows,
rallies, and parades. Members have donated their time and talents by
providing rides in their Corvettes to people who have dreamed of riding
in a Corvette but never had the opportunity. CRCC has donated
money, food, and personal items for people in the community who are in
need.
As in 2008, CRCC
members donated a plastic swimming pool piled high with supplies to
Camp Courageous of Iowa during their 2009 spring car show. Way to
go CRCC!! BUT - the Volkswagen Club kind of out did us in
2009 - Way to go Volkswagen Club! This kind of competition only
provides for a better show, more fun, and benefits to Camp Courageous of
Iowa.
The Cedar Rapids Corvette Club really came thru with supplies
for Camp Courageous of Iowa at the 2010 show. Thank you to Dan
McMurrin and Jim McLaughlin for setting up this cardboard Corvette,
banner, and canopy to hold the CRCC donated supplies.
Again in 2010, the Cedar Rapids Corvette Club received the
largest club participation award at the Camp Courageous of Iowa car
show. Mary J of the Cedar Valley Street Rods Club presents the award
check to CRCC president Tom and CRCC homecoming director Bob. As
in the past, CRCC donated the participation award check back to Camp Courageous
along with an additional check for $1000 from our 2009 homecoming parade
proceeds.
The following five charities were provided support by way
of the CRCC Charity
Car Show which was held Saturday June 13, 2009 at Lindale Mall.

BRAIN INJURY ASSOCIATION OF IOWA
East Central
Iowa Chapter
The Brain Injury Association of Iowa was formed in 1980 as a
family support group in Cedar Rapids. Its purpose is to
provide family support, educate the public about brain injuries,
advocate for change in the disability system, and campaign for
prevention of brain injuries. Many people with brain injuries
have lost their former friends and need assistance adapting to their
new life. To help, The Brain Injury Association of Iowa matches
families one on one with another family in a similar situation.
The organization also provides opportunity for five survivors to
attend Camp Courageous for a week.
