Hilary didn’t slow down Crescenta Valley Instrumental Music’s (CVIM) clothing drive fundraiser over the weekend.

CVIM members were filling a truck with clothing dropped off by generous community members on Saturday and Sunday. According to CVIM outreach parent Leila Bell, the group collected 9,500 pounds of donations. The group gets $.30 per pound. The much-needed funds help support the award-winning Crescenta Valley High School instrumental program.
