Ghostly Gathering Costume Party attracts new support for CCCC
CCCC's newly formed Event Committee, consisting of young professionals, organized and hosted the Ghostly Gathering costume party on October 25th at Daniel Street Club in Milford. Nearly 100 people from New Haven and Fairfield counties dressed for the event in their favorite costumes and enjoyed a night of live music and dancing with old and new friends. The Event Committee looks forward to making this fundraising party even better next year and raising more support for CCCC's child abuse prevention programs.

Inspiring guests at CCCC’s 2008 Humanitarian Award Breakfast
Youth empowerment was the theme at Coordinating Council for Children in Crisis’s 9th annual Humanitarian Award Breakfast on April 29, 2008 at Oak Lane Country Club. The honoree and recipient of the 2008 Richard Manware Humanitarian Award was Laurie Meadoff, founder of CityKids Foundation which is one of the nation's leading nonprofit multi-cultural youth communication and leadership organizations. Eight alumni from CityKids inspired the 120 attendees as they sang a song about embracing diversity and youth empowerment called “Heal the Rainbow.” Ted Koppy, News Channel 8 co-Anchor moderated this special and meaningful event which raised consciousness about our community’s troubled youth and increased awareness about the intervention, prevention and empowerment programs of CCCC.
CCCC’s Humanitarian Award Breakfast has traditionally honored individuals who have made significant achievements in the fields of youth development, child welfare or women’s empowerment. Past admired award recipients have included author and teacher/volunteer Wally Lamb, activist Naomi Wolf and domestic violence researchers Evan Stark and Anne Flitcraft.
Laurie Meadoff is also co-founder and partner of NextNext Entertainment, a production company primarily focused on youth programming, CEO of Chat Ventures, a global youth dialogue company and Executive Producer of Chat the Planet, a conduit of conversation with diverse groups of young people around the globe via satellite and online. She has executive produced programming for Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, ABC, HBO Family, MTV and VH1. Passionately envisioning a world without barriers and prejudice, Ms. Meadoff strives to build bridges through tolerance and understanding, and her primary tool of choice is television and internet.
