C2C Emerging Leaders presents...

In 2010, C2C received over 32,000 requests for footwear. Unfortunately, the demand far exceeds our supply and we had to out of stock 32% of these orders. Especially during these difficult winter months, it is critical that all kids, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, have the basic clothing they need to withstand the elements

To combat this need, Cradles to Crayons Emerging Leaders Council invites you to our first annual Sneaker Jam on Thursday, March 3rd at Church. Lace up your coolest sneakers and check out some of the area's best local music at one of Boston's hottest venues. Admission is a new pair of kids' sneakers or $20, all shoes & proceeds to benefits Cradles to Crayons and the children we serve. Doors are at 7 PM and the following local bands will be playing:

TOTEM
Gene Dante
Vary Lumar
Will Makar and the Red Line

Join Cradles to Crayons' Emerging Leaders Council!

The Cradles to Crayons (C2C) Young Professionals Group is comprised of dedicated young professionals committed to advancing the C2C mission of providing children ages 0 to 12 some of the most important basics of life, free of charge.

The purpose of the group is to generate awareness and funds to support the work of C2C. By engaging their peers in events and activities that develop a link to C2C, they are helping to ensure the viability of C2C now and in the future.

Highlights from our Happy Hour Kickoff Event

On Thursday, April 15th, young professionals from across the city joined us at the Vault for our inaugural C2C Emerging Leaders Happy Hour. Guests learned about the Cradles to Crayons model and mission, met C2C staff, and networked with peers while enjoying a refreshing after-work beverage. We had a great turnout, and the event was a huge success.

On the heels of our Happy Hour, we’ve begun planning our Summer Event. Watch this page for more information on the event as details are finalized.
