FAQsRaleigh - Durham Action Center(RDU)
Background:
CRY America RDU is the local action center of CRY America in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. This was started by a few friends to encourage and facilitate the people of the Triangle to come together in good spirit with the goal of making a positive difference in the lives of underprivileged children. CRY America RDU has been actively increasing awareness and raising funds since 2002. Events organized include various indoor and outdoor sporting events, charity walks with kids mela, chaat food booths, and concerts by leading artists including Ghazal Maestro and Bhajan Samrat Anup Jalota and Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia. Reviewing our past activities listed below, one can see that we are trying to appeal to people of all ages and interests to contribute to this cause in a meaningful way, while having fun all the time. We are always on the lookout for fresh ideas, energy and enthusiasm to grow our action center to support the cause. Please see contact info below for additional information.
