Relay for Life is an event that is designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs for the American Cancer Society. During the event held in May, teams of people take turns walking or running laps and one individual from each team is always on the track. Crowder is honored to be a participant in this event each year.
Water for Life Event
Water for Life Events are a fun way to help support new communities in need of safe water and to get first-hand reports of the progress in the communities you have supported in the past. These events also hold educational programs to inform communities of the effects of safe water. Crowder's donations to this event help improve the overall quality and sanitation of water systems in new communities in hopes to eliminate the leading cause of death in the world – water-related diseases.
