1. Norman Food and Shelter where we have raised all the funding required to build a "CRC" tiny house in their next expansion. The club has always felt a civic obligation to assist unhoused people in getting off the streets and into a more structured environment. Recently, our focus is on donating money to Food and Shelter's "Veteran Housing Fund", which works to find low-cost places for unhoused Veterans to stay while they get back on their feet.
2. The Oklahoma Veteran Recreation Fund helps potentially isolated but housed veterans who have no known living family members and no known visitors at ANY VA center in the state. Our club is made up of many veterans who have served proudly and feel an obligation to help others who have also served our country. The funds are given to the Oklahoma Chaplin of the DAV (Disabled American Veterans), who distributes them.
3. The Absentee-Shawnee Native American Children's Relief Fund provides protective and supportive services for children living on tribal land. The cRc partners with Thunderbird Casino for two major area car show annually, and this is their "go-to" charity of choice. We stand with them to help the children in any way possible.

The cRc logo was designed by former Norman architect Casey Tarp, who was bored one day in a very long meeting. The "R" borrows a bit of styling from the "R" in Riverwind Casino, but beyond that, what you see is a jpeg of the piece of scrap paper he used in his first pass, original drawing. We love it!
