    The year 2010 marks the 20th Anniversary of Community Resources for Independence.  On October 26, 2010, CRI held their 20th Anniversary Awards Luncheon & Annual Board Meeting at the Ambassador & Conference Center in Erie, PA.  During the celebration, CRI was delighted to recognize indiviuals, businesses, and organizations that have shown exemplary efforts to amplify full participation of people with disabilites in all aspects of community life.  The winners of these prestigious awards represent the many people in our community working, sometimes quietly and unnoticed, in support of people with disabilties. 

    Community Resources for Independence's 20th Anniversary celebration highlighted the recognition of many influential individuals, businesses, and organizations that have been crusaders of advocacy for individuals with disabilities, illustrating the spirit of CRI throughout the community in an array of ways.  Whether it be empowering the youth, providing quality hearing, improving the quality of life or just raising money for education and awareness, these influential crusaders have unswervingly demonstrated their dedication to CRI as well as the community.

    Timothy Finegan, Executive Director of Community Resources for Independence, has undoubtedly served as a pioneer in the community. He has dedicated many years to the education and service of enabling individuals with disabilities the opportunity to maximize their independence and their accessibility in the communities in which they live.  His extraordinary work, as well as CRI, was recognized when he was awarded the prestigious key to the City of Erie by Mayor Joseph E. Sinnott at the Annual Board Meeting.

    Awards were also presented at the 20th Annual Awards Luncheon and Annual Board Meeting to several individuals within the community.  The winners of these prestigious awards represent an array of dedicated individuals striving to make a better tomorrow for individuals with disabilities.  For more information and to see all the award winners see the links below.
