Celebrating 45 Years of CCC!

This spring, Concord Children’s Center celebrates 45 years since its founding in 1975. While we are not able to celebrate with a large community event, we will be holding three smaller-scale activities for all members of the family. We hope that all of our community members will join in the celebrations!

Lawn Sign Parade

Show your support of CCC in its 45th anniversary year with a celebratory lawn sign! Thanks to the sponsorship of Jim Peltier and Engel & Völkers, we are able to give these lawn signs free of charge to anyone in the Concord area who would like one!

Contact CCC Development Coordinator Jennifer Saxe to request your sign! Signs will be on display from Monday, April 12, through Tuesday, May 4.

Once you have your sign, take a picture of your CCC student(s) (current or past) or your family in front of the sign and post it to the CCC Facebook page with the #CCC45Years hashtag.

Family Scavenger Hunt

A fun activity for the entire family! Download a scavenger hunt form and then find the picture of the decorated “45” at participating local businesses from Monday, April 12-Tuesday, April 27. Return your completed sheet to CCC Development Coordinator Jennifer Saxe and get one entry for the child’s prize in our 45th anniversary raffle! Make sure to take a photo of your child while doing the hunt and post it to the CCC Facebook page with the hashtag #CCC45Years.

CCC has been a proud and grateful member of the Concord business community for the past 45 years, and we encourage participants to patronize our local business partners while completing the scavenger hunt (check opening hours before stopping by, as some businesses have reduced hours right now due to COVID).

Raffle

The grand finale of CCC’s 45th anniversary celebrations! On Thursday, April 29, we will be holding a virtual raffle at 8:30 p.m. featuring five prizes, with one being just for kids! Allocate your raffle tickets among the five prizes however you wish — apply them all to one prize or divvy them up among a few items. You do not need to be on the raffle call to win.

Raffle tickets will be on sale from Monday, April 12-Tuesday, April 27, and are 1/$10, 3/$25, or 10/$75. Massachusetts law does not provide for the sale of raffle tickets on-line or through the mail, so all sales must be in person. How can you purchase tickets?

  • Current CCC families and staff: tickets will be on-sale from 8-9 a.m. at all three sites from Monday, April 12-Tuesday, April 27. Have your ticket purchase form filled out and ready to hand in along with a check for your tickets, made payable to Concord Children’s Center.
  • All other community members: please contact CCC Development Coordinator Jennifer Saxe to purchase your tickets.
