Last night we celebrated the joy of the holiday season with over 60 friends of CCA who attended our Holiday Open House. We are so grateful for the toys that many of you brought and placed under our Christmas Tree and Menorah. 

It was such a joy connecting with our friends and meeting new friends with the smell of hot apple cider wafting in the air and the beautiful sound of piano music. 

I had the pleasure of meeting a family whose story touched my heart. They have been annual donors to CCA through the 105.1 the Buzz radiothon for several years. Last year their five year old son complained of a headache and before they knew it they were in going through treatments for meningitis. Their son was placed in a induced coma in an effort to reduce the pressure in his brain. Mom shared that when CCA’s harp music began to play they noticed that his blood pressure vitals were reduced to a level they had been unable to reach. She was delighted and amazed! Later in the week CCA’s staff came by to play guitar and sing with her son. She then learned it was CCA who had been providing the music, and shared her jaw dropped realizing that the organization she had been supporting for years was now providing her support. 

This personal story reminded me of the impact CCA makes every day and how fortunate we are to have the support of our community in all we do. Thank you for making CCA part of your family.

Happy Holidays!
