Leadership Class 23

Every year the new class does a fundraiser for an organization of their choice. This year Class 23 has chosen to support Merced's Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Task Force. Merced ComVip provides leadership in prevention of violence, intervention and enforcement to help your community become a safer place for all.

On behalf of Leadership Merced Class 23 we would like to thank the community for supporting our "Casino Night". The "Casino Night" activity raised a terrific sum of money to help support the Merced Community Violence Intervention Program (Merced ComVip). Our monies will help a number of important Merced County organizations, to include local government, schools, the faith-based community, courts and social services, provide engaging programs to at-risk youth this summer and into the future. This was only possible because of the generous donations from the Merced Business Community. All proceeds go directly to The ComVip Task Force. www.mercedcomvip.org
