It has been almost five years since the Christopher Robert Clarke Foundation was established. Through the generosity of many, we have managed to build a solid, successful foundation. The CRC has become not only a charity but also a living, breathing entity made up of the thousands of people who have in one way or another chosen to become involved. Thank you all.

Through your generosity we have managed to donate close to $300,000 to the Christopher Robert Clarke Scholarship at Saint Joseph’s Preparatory High School. This has fully funded several partial scholarships. We have also been able to make sizable contributions to the Frank Robert Clarke Scholarship Fund at the Rosemont School of the Holy Child as well as to the MBF Center in Norristown, PA. All worthy causes in support of the foundation’s stated mission. The MBF Center promotes independence and productivity for high school students and adults with disabilities who experience multiple barriers to employment. The Frank Robert Clarke Scholarship Fund grants financial aid to those students who have lost a parent.

The CRC Foundation is evolving. Ensuring Buddha’s name lives in perpetuity, we will be establishing our own endowment with an initial goal of $1,000,000. Our mission of awarding grants to underprivileged children seeking a quality education and a better life will remain unchanged.

Once again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support! We are so excited for our upcoming events. We are having the Annual Christopher Robert Clarke Foundation Golf Classic at Galloway National Golf Club on June 27, 2006. We will also be having our annual event at The Westin on September 15, 2006. Please click on the links above to find out more information.

Buddha’s memory will continue to live on through the Clarke family and you … his incredible friends! With all our love and thanks,

The CRC Foundation
