Community members come together for CASA for Children Harrisonburg, VA —On June 15th, 2017 CASA for Children was presented with a check from the proceeds of the 2nd annual Crusher Run. The race was made possible by partnerships with Frazier Quarry, VA Momentum and the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce Leadership Class. Each year the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce Leadership Class is tasked with completing a group community service project. After presentations from several local non-profits the leadership class unanimously voted to serve CASA for Children. Through a partnership with Frazier Quarry the leadership class was able to secure CASA for Children a spot as the benefitting charity of the 2nd annual Crusher Run 5k. VA Momentum was commissioned to execute the event. The Leadership Class collected over $4000 in sponsorships. All in all, the event raised almost $7000 for CASA for Children.
