The Cystinosis 5k Fun Run was a Great Success!

On May 1, The morning started out with rain and thunderstorms, but by "race" time the rain subsided for our 300 walkers, runners and bikers.  We raised over $17,000 for CRN, the Cystinosis Research Network.  CRN is a non-profit organization that we have been affiliated with since Kacy's diagnosis in 2006. Dedicated to supporting research, providing family assistance, and educating the public and medical communities about cystinosis, CRN has provided a life support system for our family.  Thank you for your support and generosity.

Center Team Volunteers for South Oakland Lunch Program (10 years and counting….)

On Saturday, November 13th The Center team gathered inside Genesis the Church (formerly 1st Baptist Church of Royal Oak) kitchen ready to give back to the many less fortunate folks within our community.

In support of the Saturday Community Lunch Program, now in its 16th year, the Center volunteered to prepare and serve a warm meal for 60 to 80 very eager patrons. These individuals are suffering severe financial hardships, elderly and homeless members of our community. Often this is the only hot nutritious meal they receive all week - ALL are in-need and no one is turned away!& To find out more about the Saturday Community Lunch Program or to volunteer, please click here to visit their Facebook page.

The Center team has served the Community Lunch Program at least annually for over 10 years. A special thanks to Jen Hackmann, who is the Center’s point person for this event each year.

Thanks also go out to our 2010 volunteers: Sandy Adams, Faith Adams, Matt Chope, Gregg Bloomfield, Jen Hackmann, Jaclyn Jackson, Arnold Levin, Marilynn Levin, Gerri Harmer, Corinne Parker, Dale Parker, Angela Palacios, Marilyn Gunther, Jennie Bauder and Troy Wyman.
