Join us at the For Good Troupe's Spring Showcase on Saturday, April 20th at 11am at the Delta High School in State College. It'll get your toes tapping, your hands clapping and make your heart happy!

Under the leadership of Director Krista Wilkinson, her assistant Rocky Landers, and choreographer Michele Dunleavy, you, too, "will be changed for good."

Our 3-21 Celebration Dance was awesome!

Lili, Wil and other volunteers showed off our CRDSS spirit at the March Tussey Teaser 10K. We need you to come cheer for runners and hand out water at the upcoming (hopefully warmer!) Tussey Teaser races in April, May, and June.

This year, at the 25th anniversary of this incredible event, they are offering a 100-mile race as well! Runners will start at 6:30 on Friday, 10/25. As they run through the night, we want to bring out our party lights and music for some overnight aid stations as well!

All proceeds from these races and the major event in October go directly to support CRDSS programs for our members. Sign up for a Tussey Teaser and/or the Mountainback here!

Centre Gives is coming! This 36-hr online fundraiser is a great way for us to earn "free money." It's simple - the more people who donate, the better chance we have to win $$ prizes for "unique donors," meaning different people on different credit cards. Get the word out to your friends and family to help us win free money on May 8th and 9th!
