Cretex Medical | CDT Brooklyn Park Teams Raise $6,950 for Local Charities
At Cretex Medical, giving back is a team effort, and our Brooklyn Park employees took that spirit to the next level this April during our Spring Basket Display Fundraiser. Through creativity, collaboration, and community support, teams assembled themed baskets filled with donated goodies, raffled them off, and raised an impressive $6,950 for charity!
October 28, 2024
Cretex Medical employees purchased $1 raffle tickets for the chance to win their favorite baskets or simply donate to causes close to their hearts. Each basket team selected a nonprofit organization to benefit from their fundraising efforts, and Cretex Medical matched the proceeds to maximize impact.
From sporting gear and games to tools and even vacation packages, the donated prizes were just as exciting as the causes they supported. This April, employees at Cretex Medical’s Brooklyn Park facility came together for the Spring Basket Display Fundraiser and raised an impressive $6,950 for charity!
Teams of employees assembled themed baskets using donated items and sold $1 tickets for a chance to win them. Each team selected a nonprofit organization to receive the proceeds from their basket. A total of $3,200 worth of tickets were sold, with additional cash donations and a generous Cretex Medical match boosting the total even further.

- Alexandra House – $2,120
