C.R.O.W.'s Share Your Heart


“Have you ever had a really big dream?” asks C.R.O.W. Artistic Director and Founder, Melanie Heard.  “A dream that you know is doable, but nevertheless you’re feeling a rare combination of excited and terrified at the same time?” 

On Friday, February 13 at 7 p.m. C.R.O.W. (Children’s Repertory of OR Workshops) will present an incredible opportunity for the Florence community to become personally involved in building the dreams of local kids.  “Share Your Heart” is a fundraising party like nothing you’ve ever attended, designed to raise funds for the 501 (c)3’s biggest and most important dream to date. 

C.R.O.W. is planning to purchase and renovate a building in Florence, for the purpose of creating a permanent performing arts facility for youth. The potential building has already been selected and a budget of $280,000.00 has been set as the minimum amount needed for the project to succeed.  C.R.O.W. aspires to obtain $75,000 in direct donations from the community, and will then apply for matching grants from large local and national foundations.

Reservations are required for this event.  Single tickets are $39 for adults and $25 for youth (12 and under).  A full table of 8 can also be purchased for $285. Tickets include wine (adults only) and hot hors d’oeuvres, as well as a chance to bid on the amazing baskets, prizes, and desserts up for grabs.  The evening will culminate with a “Raise Your Paddle” donation opportunity that we hope will kick off fundraising with a big bang!   For tickets please call the Florence Events Center at (541) 997-1994, or click on the Purchase Tickets link on this site.
