“GIVING TO ENRICH”
2012 ANNUAL FUND CAMPAIGN

Have you ever stopped to think about how many of our really important announcements consist of just three words? Things like, “We’re number one”, or “I love you” come to mind immediately. I am certain we could come up with a list of a hundred or more if we put our heads together and thought about it. But, I’ll leave that for you to do on some rainy day. To prime the pump and get you going I will give you the first one and I hope it will be first on your list; “Giving to Enrich”. “Giving to Enrich” is the name of the annual fund campaign for The Craddock Center. This year we have a goal of raising $200,000 to support all the services that the Center provides to Southern Appalachia. Things like “Snack in a Backpack”, “Songs and Stories” in our schools, “Grief Counseling” for members of our communities who are struggling with the loss of a friend or loved one, or just a little help to someone in need. This past year The Craddock Center provided support of some kind to over 12,000 individuals. To continue this kind of support to our communities here in Southern Appalachia we MUST have your support. When you receive the “Giving to Enrich” package in the mail, please give. I know that you receive many requests for support from worthwhile causes and all of us are having to stretch our dollars farther. I put The Craddock Center first on my list because I know of no other organization that does more for our communities with its resources than The Craddock Center.  To all of you who showed your support of The Craddock Center in the 2011 Giving to Enrich Campaign….Thank you! Please help us reach our goal of $200,000 for the 2012 campaign by making a generous tax deductible gift. There are thousands of children and families counting on YOU. — Wendell Fox, Annual Fund Chairperson
