ABOUT THE
FOUNDATION
& OUR MISSION

The Crusader Community Health Foundation champions the mission and supports the strategic priorities of Crusader Community Health.

The Crusader Community Health Foundation (CCHF) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation and was established in 1985. We are here to support Crusader Community Health in providing high quality, cost effective, accessible health care for those who have limited access.

Support the mission of Crusader Community Health at our largest annual fundraiser! This TV-themed dinner and program will give a nod to classic television shows – the dramas, comedies, game shows and reality competitions – that delivered memorable characters, unbelievable storylines and catchy theme songs. Have fun and celebrate our caring community!
