Crowning
Achievements is a 501(c)(3) in Hudson, Wi, serving men and women with
special needs in the St. Croix Valley area of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
beyond. We have been running for over 9 years and we are coming up on
our 9th Annual Pageant and Raffle! We host fun events each month within
our communities to foster awareness and acceptance of our participants,
as well as to promote their social circle and skills. All of this we do
in hopes of increasing their integration in society as well as advancing
and increasing their employment opportunities. We also host this event
and raffle in the fall to raise money to keep our program cost free for
our participants. This year we have 16 women and 4 men participating in
the pageant with many others that are part of the monthly program as
well.
We
will be hosting our 9th Annual Pageant and Raffle on Saturday, November
4th at 2pm, at Faith Community Church- 1040 Paperjack Drive, New
Richmond, WI. Immediately following the pageant will be a
refreshment social time which will then be followed by the raffle. This
raffle is our largest fundraiser of the year and features items from
local businesses in Minnesota and Wisconsin, as well as including items
from the Twin Cities (ex: The Guthrie and MOA). We are also fortunate
to receive donations for the raffle from around the US-such as 4 Disney
parks hopper passes and 5 days and 4 nights in Cancun from Sunset
Vacations!
We
are a TRUE non-profit and 100% of the funds raised go back into our
program to keep it cost free for our participants. We have no paid
staff.
Admission to the pageant is free to get in. The doors open at 1pm to view the raffle items and to purchase raffle tickets (tickets are $1 each). For
each non-perishable food item brought in to donate to local food
shelves, attendees will receive a free raffle ticket (up to 5 tickets).
During this time, attendees can also meet our past royalty, current
candidates, take pictures in our photo booth and see what we are all
about!
