formerly known as Clearwater Community Volunteers
What Is CFR?
The Community Fun Raisers formerly known as Clearwater Community Volunteers was established in 1994 by parishioners of the Church of Scientology who wanted to become more involved in the local community by putting on events and raising funds to help children and families in need within our community. CFR has since expanded over the years to welcome volunteers from all over Tampa Bay, and from all faiths, who share our purpose.
CFR is all about helping others, and having fun doing it!
CFR puts on charity events each year: the elegant Fashion With Flair and silent auction, and Winter Wonderland. In addition to these annual events, CFR organizes volunteers to help out with other community events.
