CCB Community Connection Program Spikes in 2015

Through the CCB Community Connection program with the Kingfish, $37,165 was donated to local charities in 2015.

Non-profits and charitable organizations use the CCB Community Connection program at Kingfish games to raise money for their organization. The charities have the opportunity to sell Kingfish tickets to their stakeholders and keep a portion of the sales. If enough tickets are sold, the charity then is able to run the 50/50 raffle for that evening’s game. 50% of the proceeds go directly to that non-profit.

The 2015 CCB Community Connection program saw numerous success stories. One of the most successful groups, Kindred Kitties, sold more than 300 tickets and raised $1,025 for their charity, whose focus is to find homes for homeless cats. The Safe Harbor Humane Society has participated in the CCB Community Connection program in 2014 and 2015. As part of their game-day involvement, they bring adoptable dogs and try to find homes for them in Kingfish fans. For the 2nd year in a row, all of the dogs at the event have been adopted, a total of 8 dogs.

Thirty-six charities get involved each year. Other CCB Community Connection partners include the American Heart Association, United for a Cure, ELCA Outreach, the Kenosha Literacy Council, and more.

CCB Technology got its start working primarily for non-profits. Although CCB Technology has grown remarkably, nonprofit organizations remain at the heart of CCB. Dedicated to giving back, CCB Technology and the Kenosha Kingfish look to continue to grow the CCB Community Connection program and give back.
