CRF held its most successful Spring Dinner ever on May 28, 2008 at the Century Plaza Hyatt Regency. It was a truly memorable night, and thanks to the generosity of our donors, we raised an all-time high $1.1 million to support CRF’s vital educational programs. A special thanks goes to Fox Broadcasting Company and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. for their incredible support.
Our congratulations again go to our honorees: Peter Liguori, Chairman, Entertainment, of Fox Broadcasting Company, who accepted the Bill of Rights Award and Todd Clark, CRF’s former Executive Director, who received the Lloyd M. Smith Award.
Carlos Amezcua, co-anchor of Fox 11 News at 10 served as master of ceremonies, constitutional scholar Walter Dellinger provided inspirational and informative keynote remarks, and the evening featured amazing and moving presentations by CRF students and volunteers. Please click on the pictures above to view highlights of the event.
Thanks to the generous support of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., an opportunity drawing was held at the dinner for a 2008 Lexus GS 450h Hybrid. The winners of the drawing are Peter Ostroff and Anne Young. |
