Welcome to the YWCA Cass Clay

cherries for charity - Wednesday, 7/8 through tuesday, 7/14 Cherry

The 27th annual Cherries for Charity event will be held at all six Hornbacher’s locations in Fargo-Moorhead beginning Wednesday, July 8 through Tuesday, July 14. The Fargo-Moorhead Cosmopolitan Club, along with event partner Hornbacher’s, will direct proceeds from the sales of cherries and qualifying cherry products to the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center and the YWCA Cass Clay. In 1982, the F-M Cosmopolitan Club started Cherries for Charity and, several years later, the event took on its present-day look with Hornbacher’s support. To date, Cherries for Charity has raised over $210,000 for the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center and the YWCA Cass Clay – equivalent to over one million pounds of cherries.

These sessions have been approved for 1.5 general Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) through NDSU (.25 CEU for each session) and for Social Work Contact Hours through the North Dakota Board of Social Work Examiners. Each training will include an educational dialogue with a trained racial justice facilitator, as well as a group roundtable discussion. All sessions are held at the YWCA Emergency Shelter from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. and are free and open to the public.
