Supporter Highlight

The Cronk Family

It takes a community of generous
people to move the DSCBA forward
each year.

Janet and Rick Cronk are donors who
have given generously to us since 2015.
In fact, they are top donors at our Gala
each year, raising their paddle for our
Fund a Need, setting the bar high and
encouraging others to give.

Janet and Rick joined our DSCBA
family via our Board Chairman Tom
Delaplane and his wife Linda, as they
have been dear friends for many years.

Tom says, “It’s wonderful to have the
Cronks join our table at the Gala each
year,” adding, “We are known to be
competitive and we have fun trying to
beat out each other’s bid each year.”

When we asked Rick why he and
Janet give to the DSCBA, Rick told
us, “Because we are happy to support
world-class children and adults who
thrive through the one-of-a-kind (from left) Rick Cronk, Linda Delaplane,
programs and services at the DSCBA.” Janet Cronk, and Tom Delaplane at the
Rick says that he is specifically DSCBA Gala.
impressed with our Medical Outreach
and Education Alliance partnerships
that expand our influence in the broader community.

Tom Delaplane has been with DSCBA as Chairman for four years, and has
brought many wonderful people to our organization. We are humbled that we
have donors such as the Delaplanes and the Cronks with us who truly believe in
giving back to make a significant difference in the quality of life of others.
Janet and Rick’s grandson, Chris Cronk, volunteered last fall semester in our
Early Elementary Peer Development class.

We cannot thank the Cronk and the Delaplane families enough for their support
over the years. Gifts of time and funds from our community are what enable us
to continue and grow our programs year after year. Thank you.
