CPN was fortunate to receive volunteer service and financial support from Sarah Cannon volunteers this past year. CPN works to support Metro Parks Cultural Arts programs by providing supplemental funds for Metro Parks Music, Theater and Visual Arts programs. Sarah Cannon offers employees time off to volunteer and support local non-profit agencies. Michelle Craine, the current CPN Board President, has organized volunteer efforts between Sarah Cannon and CPN for the past 2 years. By joining these agency programs, Michelle connected Sarah Cannon employees with volunteer opportunities to improve Metro Parks facilities and financial support for CPN programs.
