Charlotte Walks Together 2010
Charlotte Walks Together celebrates diversity and promotes inclusion and social justice in our community. Corporate groups, community organizations, families and individuals from all sectors of the community partner with CCSJ to recruit individuals and teams of walkers to build understanding and relationships across lines of difference.
Now in its 9th year, this fundraising event directly benefits the Youth Leadership Programs of the Charlotte Coalition for Social Justice (CCSJ). The funds raised provide scholarships for young people who would otherwise not have the means to attend programs such as Anytown, Bring it On, Civil Rights Weekend, and The Diversity Kick-off Weekend.

Close the Gap Campaign Special Thanks to all that contributed to the Close the Gap Campaign!! To date, through both community and corporate support we have raised almost $35,000! Humanitarian Awards Dinner We recognize that the awards dinner is more than a fundraiser and that over the years the stories of the work of our honorees have provided inspiration for many in our community to step up their own efforts to promote positive social change. However, this comes at a significant cost, and the challenging economy has created the necessity to re-evaluate all of our fundraising initiatives and make a decision that will best enable us to support and develop and programming and services for young people in the Charlotte Region. After careful consideration, the board of CCSJ has decided to put the Awards Dinner on temporary hiatus for 2010. Humanitarian Award Nomination Process The Humanitarian Awards Dinner is a platform and a showcase for our mission, our programs and for our community. For 50 years, it has honored outstanding members of the Charlotte Mecklenburg community for their work to promote inclusion and social justice. Humanitarian Award recipients are selected from nominations submitted by members of our community. The criteria for the Humanitarian Award are that the individual: The Awards Dinner also recognizes a young person who is showing leadership and a strong commitment to being an agent of positive social change.
