RRCF 2023 - “A NIGHT TO REMEMBER”

Redding R anche Ria

We had an amazing time hosting the 2023 Redding Rancheria Community Fund Dinner on March 3. We celebrated the organizations who solicited the fund in 2022. We awarded $5000 to Disability Action Center - Redding CA and $5000 to ShiningCare as the 2023 RRCF Philanthropic Award Winners. Thank you to those who sponsored, attended, donated, worked and volunteered for the event. Together, we helped raise over $50,000 that will go directly back into the fund to help local non-profit organizations within Shasta & Trinity County. Here is to next year, as we cannot wait to see you again!

This visually stunning display shows the trauma that our youth endure in Shasta County. “The Redding Rancheria has been a valuable partner in child abuse prevention efforts here in Shasta County. We are excited to partner with them to bring this display to the Win-River Mini Mart,” said Michael Burke, Executive Director of Pathways to Hope for Children. The display will be up throughout the month of April in an effort to keep the community talking about child abuse prevention efforts.
