very excited about this year’s event,” said Marc Craig, CHN president. “This
past year has been one of tremendous growth for us allowing us to expand within
our mission and serve more people. Raise the Roof is a great way to tell our

was empowered though one of our programs and who then worked to change his or
her life.”
