Carlsbad Causes For Community

C3 IS 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT CONSISTING OF LOCAL BUSINESSES AND CARLSBAD RESIDENTS WHO COLLABORATE TO RAISE MONEY FOR VARIOUS COMMUNITY CAUSES BY ORGANIZING AND IMPLEMENTING EVENTS AND PROJECTS THAT SERVE THE COMMUNITY. C3 FOCUSES ON PROVIDING SOCIAL, ATHLETIC, RECREATIONAL, AND WELLNESS SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THOSE WHO LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY IN THE VILLAGE OF CARLSBAD. C3 BEGAN AS A FUNDRAISING PROGRAM THROUGH CARLSBAD VILLAGE YOGA CO-OP TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR YOGA COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH DEBILITATING HEALTH CONDITIONS. MONEY WAS RAISED THROUGH DONATION YOGA CLASSES AND SILENT AUCTION FUNDRAISERS IN WHICH LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS DONATED THEIR SERVICES AND PRODUCTS TO HELP THE COMMUNITY CAUSES. THE SUCCESS OF THE FUNDRAISERS AND THE HEARTWARMING COMMUNITY CAMARADERIE LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE EVOLUTION OF C3 INTO A 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT. C3 NOW CONSISTS OF LOCAL BUSINESSES, NON-PROFIT PARTNERS, INDIVIDUAL SUPPORTERS, VOLUNTEERS, TWO BOARD MEMBERS, SEVERAL SERVICE PROFESSIONAL ANGELS, AND CONTRACTORS AND PROFESSIONALS AS NEEDED. THE C3 CONSTITUENTS CONTRIBUTE MONEY, GIFTS, SERVICES AND TIME TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY THROUGH COLLABORATION TO HOST COMMUNITY PROGRAMS AND EVENTS. COMMUNITY PROGRAMS INCLUDE FREE YOGA FOR THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB AND A VILLAGE-WIDE HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE. COMMUNITY EVENTS INCLUDE THE ANNUAL CARLSBAD VILLAGE SCAVENGER HUNT, WHICH WAS PARTIALLY GRANT-FUNDED THROUGH THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, AND HALLOWEEN IN THE VILLAGE. THE PURPOSE OF C3 IS TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY BY CREATING PURPOSEFUL CONNECTIONS TO LEVERAGE THE COLLABORATIVE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY FOR LOCAL CAUSES, IN LINE WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS MISSION.
