For the Love of Children Annual Luncheon
The Central Regional Advisory Board hosts its major annual fundraiser, For the Love of Children luncheon, each year to support critical programs and services for Bloomington/Normal area children and families.
Thanks to our caring community, in 2017 we raised more than $27,900 for the agency’s programs and services in our area!
