Our Annual CCC Hop-A-Thon starts TOMORROW, Wednesday, March 4 and again on March 6. It is the funnest, easiest way to support CCC and our Equity Fund! Every CCC student will hop until their heart's content, raising money to break down financial barriers for future and present CCC families.

Families can support the vision of Equity Tuition at CCC by making contributions to the Equity Tuition Fund or by supporting individual fundraisers, links provided by friends and family of CCC. (Check the comments section of this post for the Equity Tuition Fund link.)

All donations are tax deductible [CCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit]

The Hop-a-Thon is a hop, skip, and a jump away! It's our biggest, funnest fundraiser of the year and will be held over two days. All funds raised go towards our mutual aid fund and making CCC as accessible as possible to all.

We have a wonderful 2026 ahead of us and cannot wait to spend it with our Children's Community Center friends! Whether your family is part of our Front Yard or Back Yard cohort, add these dates to your calendar for a quick reference.
