The Crusade for Children raises money for schools, agencies and hospitals that help children with special needs. Approximately 3 million children have been helped by the Crusade since it was established in 1954. In its first 54 years, the Crusade has raised more than $123 million. Thanks to generous contributions of goods and services, the Crusade returns 100% of all donations to organizations that serve special needs children in all 120 Kentucky counties and more than 50 southern Indiana counties. Fire departments raise more than 50 percent of the money each year by staging road blocks and other events. For more information, contact John Blim (502) 582-7521.
