Not content to rest on their historic foundations, these congregations continue to give back by hosting many social programs. All are members of P.U.N.C.H. (People Uniting Neighbors and Churches) which, along with Hilltop Campus Village is sponsoring the event. "Our hilltop churches have worked hard to develop a unique partnership with each other through P.U.N.C.H. and with Hilltop Campus Village to benefit the people we serve," said Ralph Kelly, President of P.U.N.C.H. "The Altar Crawl is an example of that collaboration and a unique opportunity for visitors to enjoy the beautiful legacy of those who came before us."

History: Angie DeWilfond, our founder, was diagnosed in August of 2007 with stage 3C Ovarian Cancer at the age of 37. She is currently battling the disease for the fifth time. The CCKMA annual event began in 2008 as a small get together with friends. Angie
decided that with the help of this great network of friends, that an annual fundraising event should be held to support the research of gynecological cancers. CCKMA also supports organizations that spread the warning symptoms and educate women about ovarian cancer. Angie wanted to share the annual CCKMA event as a day to celebrate life for all cancer survivors, their families and friends, as well as to hold tribute to those we have lost to cancer.

CCKMA is currently seeking sponsors, donations for silent auction, live auction and raffles. Contact 309-236-3629 or E-MAIL: angie@cckma-qc.org
