Our first Great Strides Ojai in 1999 raised $9,000, and Great Strides Ojai 2005 raised over $80,000! Wow! This year's goal is $90,000, and we can reach this goal with your help! And remember, over $.90 of every $1.00 raised at Great Strides Ojai goes directly to CFF research and care

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS / BOOTH SPACE and GIFT CERTIFICATES: Corporate sponsorships are available at a variety of levels starting at just $250. Or, your company can help by donating a gift or certificate to our Great Strides Silent Auction. (For pickup of items, please call Cathie at 805-640-8556.)
