The CLASP family was moved once again, by what can be accomplished when communities come
together for a common cause. Thanks to all our community partners!
In December, Splash Car Wash of Norwalk donated a portion of its holiday sales to CLASP. Splash owner, Mark Curtis has been not only a friend to CLASP for many years, but also supports many other local nonprofits. Mark truly knows the spirit of the holiday season.

Barnes and Noble is the Best!
Barnes & Noble of Westport is a great example of corporate businesses supporting local nonprofits.
Each year at holiday time, Barnes & Noble gives local nonprofits the opportunity to staff their gift
wrapping tables and to keep 100% of the wrapping donations for their organizations. CLASP couldn’t
be more pleased to have them as a community partner.
