2025 Cupid's Carnival FUNdraiser: Another Huge Success!

CLACC's 2nd Annual Cupid's Carnival FUNdraiser was held on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025. For the second year, the community center's tenants threw a big party to celebrate the Center, and raise funds for much-needed improvements.

In perfect carnival fashion, our wonderful community sprang to action, volunteering and donating to help make this the best carnival yet. THANK YOU to everyone who pitched in and to our generous sponsors who donated dozens of silent auction prizes, door prizes, and raffle prizes, and who donated their time and efforts to provide fun carnival games, food, snacks, entertainment, and so much more!
