The North Valley Chapter of the California Deer Association (CDA)  provides recreational and other activities for all children.  However, the Derek Jellison CDA has been created for the purpose of permanently providing funding for activities provided through the Field of Dreams Event Programs, which focuses specifically on providing recreational and other activities for special needs children, children of veterans, and veterans of foreign wars, and these funds will be used in accordance with the goals and policies of this program.  Initial funding for this endowment has been provided by Derek Jellison.  Derek is a young man who has participated in this program for 4 years and was inspired to help raise money for this event.  He did this by first selling oranges in his front yard.  When he ran out of oranges, he and his mother began making and selling candles.  Because of his belief in this program and his enjoyment of the event, this was a labor of love.  By establishing this endowment fund, he, and the North Valley Chapter are insuring that his gift will grow forever stronger and will continue to provide funding for an event that he feels has enriched his life.

If you would like to donate to the Derek Jellison CDA, donations can be sent to 2967 Davison Court, Suite C, Colusa, CA 95932, or at the Colusa branch of Wells Fargo Bank.
