CCA’s flagship fundraising event, Spring for Kids, showcased for the first time, Hartford’s Proud Drill Drum and Dance Corp along with over 200 distinguished guests. These guests represented a diverse range of CCA’s supporters, including our 2024 Champions of Children and the Sustainability Award honorees, Board Directors, staff, community partners, children, youth, families, and our Speak Up! youth group.
A highlight of the evening was showcasing the inspiring work and powerful voices of the LGBTQ+ Youth Project area, a recently added initiative led by CCA’s 2024 Singer Fellow, Attorney Mallory Sanchez. The project aims to empower and advocate for LGBTQ+ youth in Connecticut.
Furthermore, CCA welcomed six new event sponsors that share our commitment to improving the lives of children in our communities: Dalio Education, The Connection, the Governors Prevention Partnership, and The William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund. Their generous contributions played a vital role in the success of the event.
The evening culminated in a resounding fundraising achievement, with over $175,000 raised. These funds will directly support CCA’s crucial work in advocating for, protecting, and servicing Connecticut’s most vulnerable children.
Spring for Kids 2024 was a testament to CCA’s dedication to creating a better future for all children in Connecticut. Through this event, CCA strengthened its partnerships, amplified youth voices, and secured essential resources to continue its life-changing work.
