Thanks to the generous amount of community support, the Spaghetti Fundraiser Dinner for CARA held on April 21st, 2023 was a great success! The total raised at the event was over $800.00! All of the money raised will go directly to CARA, thanks to the generous sponsorships from the
Eaton Area Senior Center and Dart Container.
Everyone at CARA would like to thank all of the hard working staff and volunteers at the Eaton Area Senior Center. We are extremely grateful to Cindy Miller, Dorothy Bates, Diane Hudson, Deb Malewski, and Bob Dubay for donating their time and energy to clean, cook, serve, and work the event- all in addition to donating the food cost as well as giving CARA the use of the venue!
