Cindy

Save CR Heritage

Jul. 10, 2025 11:30 a.m.

Cindy is a freelance journalist, the board secretary and a volunteer for Save CR Heritage. Save CR Heritage was formed in 2012 and is an all-volunteer nonprofit that focuses on preservation of our city's cultural and historical assets.  

Save CR Heritage is raising money to buy the historic Zastera Pharmacy building in NW Cedar Rapids and they're trying to spread the word about the project, which they hope will revitalize the historic Time Check neighborhood. 

They received a substantial grant of $100,000 from the Hall-Perrine Foundation, and need to raise the remaining $75,000 of the purchase price by Aug. 1; a steep task, but one they think is doable! Photos of the building and more background on the project are on our website: http://www.savecrheritage.org/plans-will-return-historic-west-side-storefront-in-cedar-rapids-to-its-roots/ [savecrheritage.org]

Hopeful Mama Foundation

Emily Patel’s experience with infertility started when she was 25 years old and diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure. With the advances of science, she is now a mama, through donor egg IVF, to two precious little girls: Penelope and Everly.

Emily’s desire is to provide opportunities for women who need assistance with financial resources, education, and awareness of all of the fertility options available today that can help fulfill their dreams for tomorrow, just as she was able to fulfill her dream.
