Fund Raising Activities - 2011
$200,000 Challenge Grant
CHCURC received a challenge grant offer in 2010, whereby a grant of $200,000 could be obtained if we raise a matching $200,000. The grant stipulates that the resulting $400,000 would be used to purchase a property, renovate it and offer it as a rental property on the Avenue.
To obtain more specific information, view the [Challenge Match Letter] which can be printed as a PDF. We hope that you will be able to help us with this tremendous opportunity. Also, the Pledge Card can be printed out from the home page. To date we have completed a number of fund-raising events as detailed below.

Was A Great Success and Raised 15K!
Thank You to the 206 individuals who attended this great event. The comments we received were very positive and our guests had fun "betting" on the Derby, voting for the best hats, being served Mint Juleps and listening to the smooth music played by the Cunningham duo. Then there was the open bar & table of derby fare that was continuous until the event closed around 10:30 pm.

Challenge Match Event!
"Italian Night" at the
College Hill Coffee Co. and Casual Gourmet
May 22nd, 2011
College Hill Coffee Co. recently hosted an Italian Night to raise funds for CHCURC's Matching Grant Program. The event was quickly sold-out and many were turned away as seating was at capacity. Guests enjoyed a gourmet Italian dinner featuring homemade lasagna, roasted vegetable orzo and salad by Chefs Diane and Ellen Brewster, with Madisono’s gelato and pizelles for dessert. Additional funds were raised with raffled prizes, Split-the-Pot, and owner Tina Stoeberl’s donation of 20% of all retail sales during the evening.
Thanks to generous contributions of time, effort and food, CHCC was able to donate 100% of the evening’s proceeds to CHCURC with no deduction for expenses. The two-hour event raised a total of $1,834.
Young CHCC servers (Ray Lanser, Emma Webster, Sysilie Hill and Becca Risch) donated their time for the event.
Tina also wants to thank Diane Brewster and Ellen Brewster for a fabulous meal and Gordon Food Service, Restaurant Depot and Madisono's Gelato for their donations.
