Crisis Center North Celebrates 35 Years

For more than three decades, CCN has remained committed to its mission of empowering victims of domestic violence while cultivating community attitudes and behaviors that break the cycle of violence.

"This particular anniversary marks a monumental milestone in the organization’s history, as CCN commemorates providing service to nearly 70,000 victims of domestic violence, during the past 35 years." - CCN Board President, Donna Imhoff.

CCN's board, staff, and volunteers are extending an invitation to the community to celebrate with the organization from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013. As part of the year-long festivities, CCN is asking community members to consider celebrating their birthdays by:
