Charity Fund Distribution
The Club Cruceros Charity Committee vets local charities and brings recommendations to the Board of Directors. Each year the Club finds a wide variety of ways in which to help. Each month, each season, brings new opportunities to lend a helping hand, and the club rises to the occasion, time and again.
