CRF held a very successful Spring Dinner on May 28, 2009. It was a truly memorable night, and thanks to the generosity of our donors, we raised nearly $900,000 to support CRF’s vital educational programs. A special thanks goes to Walmart US and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. for their incredible support.
Our congratulations again go to our honorees: Thomas M. Mars, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, Walmart US, who received the Bill of Rights Award and the family of Carlton Varner, who received the Lloyd M. Smith Award in his honor.
Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean, University of California Irvine, School of Law provided informative and thought-provoking keynote remarks, and the evening featured amazing and moving presentations by CRF students and volunteers.
Please take a look at CRF’s wonderful new promotional video that premiered at the dinner.
We still need your help. If you would like to make a personal gift to help us continue our vital work with students and teachers while we face the daunting financial challenges of these times, please consider making a secure online donation now to Constitutional Rights Foundation.
