HEB, Dell, and Junior League sponsor Chill 'N Grill for Former CPI Clients

July 11, 2009

For years the staff and board of CPI have dreamed of putting on a family-friendly, alcohol-free event that would bring together community members, CPI stakeholders, clients, and staff. “Our goal was to provide a safe, sober, and fun way for our clients to enjoy themselves, their families, and their freedom,” said Executive Director Laura Smith. “We really wanted to celebrate their successes and encourage them to keep going down the right path. Big thanks to our wonderful staff for making that dream a reality.”

On July 11, 2009, CPI held its second annual Chill 'N Grill Family Picnic at Martin Park in East Austin. With current and former clients, family members, and CPI stakeholders in attendance, the Chill 'N Grill was a huge success. The event featured a cookout, softball, spades and dominoes tournaments, a raffle, and other activities. Plans are already in the works for the 2010 Chill 'N Grill, and we know that next year’s event will be even better.

A heartfelt thank you from the CPI Family to our 2009 Chill 'N Grill sponsors: Dell Foundation, Junior League of Austin, & HEB
