The Stocking Stuffer is the Historical Society's largest fundraiser and is critical to providing more than 15% of CCHS's annual budget. As this event has grown, sponsorship is even more important to provide an event of this scale. Support the Stocking Stuffer this year through being a sponsor or supporter. Supporting in this way will help offset expenses associated with the event and allocate a larger percentage of the profit to CCHS's mission work.
