Friends and Family Teams are the heart of the CCVI Trolley Run and are comprised of current students, alumni, volunteers, staff, friends, and supporters who collectively go the extra mile for CCVI! Join our families by creating your team TODAY!
All proceeds raised provide individualized therapies and specialized education to children in our community who are blind or visually impaired! We also invite any group that wants to run together to create a team (or join an existing one) and dash for our students!
