CHARITIES SUPPORTED

Giving back to our communities (Bullhead City, Laughlin, Kingman and Lake Havasu City) is a very important part of what the Colorado River Corvette Club is all about.

Since 2016, our club has honored Earth Day with trees donated by the club and individual members to the parks in Bullhead City, Kingman, and Lake Havasu City.

This year, to honor Earth Day, club members gathered at Centennial Park In Kingman on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, to “shovel some dirt” around 8 Modell Pine trees already placed in the ground by the City of Kingman Parks Employees. A big thank you to Mike Meersman, City of Kingman Director of Parks, and to Dennis Wagner, our own Club Arborist, for all your efforts to make this day a success.

Some of our “adventurous” women club members even tried out the new Zipline at Centennial Park, channeling their “inner child”. You’re never too old to have fun, right!

It was a beautiful spring day, perfect for “planting” trees, and to be part of beautifying and enhancing our communities is part of what Colorado River Corvette Club is all about.

Our club generously supports year after year many charitable programs in our communities involving Veterans, homeless, children and youth programs, law enforcement, elderly and the environment. 2024 has been no exception.

As our year comes to a close, we were honored to present our 2024 Charity Donations to four (4) deserving organizations that serve our local communities. Checks for $1500 each were awarded to:

Mohave County Sheriff's Department K-9 Foundation - Presented to Cheri Ahlemier

Comprising specially trained deputies & canines (police dogs), this unit conducts patrols, responds to calls for service, and provides critical support when called upon. The k-9 unit is frequently utilized during felony apprehensions, narcotic searches, and to locate missing persons and suspects.

Clothe the Kids Program - Kingman Kiwanis - Presented to Greg Acker, President and Regina Musumeci, Secretary (also a CRCC Member)

Clothe the Kids is a program to gift clothing to needy children every year. Powerhouse Kiwanis has supported more than 150 kids per year from grades Kindergarten to 5th grade.

Tri State Military Moms - Presented to Janet Gagnon, President, & Cindy Frizelle, President Emeritus & Co-Founder

Shortly after 9/11, a "Military Moms Support Group" began with local moms from the Tri-State area. The original group of mothers each had a son or family member serving in the military. Their primary puspose was to support one another during their children's deployment to the Middle East and provide care packages with treats and hygiene items that were needed while on deployment. We are an all-volunteer organization of passionate and dedicated patriotic women who depend solely on the generosity of our community for donations and fundraisers to continue our programs in support of our military, our veterans, and their families. Never forget, Freedom has a price!

Mohave County Department of Public Health - Presented to Susan C. Kokkinen, Senior Programs Supervisor and Brenda Lo Bue

Each center prepares hot, nutritious meals that are served at the center (congregate meals) and that are delivered to homebound clients (Meals on Wheels)

Homebound meals are currently provided in the following communities: Kingman, Lake Havasu City, Golden Shores, Golden Valley & Mohave Valley. Other outlying communities in the County are served by a separate agency that contracts with WACOG and provides frozen meals via overnight delivery.
