What Your Charitable Impact Means
Your contribution means that Cedarcrest can continue to:
- Attract and retain highly-qualified staff to support the care of children with complex medical and developmental needs
- Keep pace with advances in medical, therapeutic, and education technologies, ensuring the highest possible standards of safety and service
- Provide access to recreational and social enrichment opportunities for the children and youth in our care
- Serve as an information and training resource to families; medical, social service and educational professionals; and other caregivers in the community
How your contribution will be used
