Operation BRAVO
Our annual Operation Bravo brings holiday cheer to American troops in combat overseas. BRAVO stands for Bringing Relief and Video Overseas. This Crutchfield-led community drive collects DVDs, personal DVD players and MP3 players for the soldiers on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Charitable Giving
The Arts
Crutchfield is passionate about bringing art and entertainment to life for our customers.
We support community theaters, concerts, music festivals, museums, and public radio to
help enrich the lives and experiences of our community.
Education
Crutchfield believes that quality education leads to positive choices, which is one of the founding
philosophies that led to our success. Our contributions to local schools, universities, and school/business
alliances help students make better choices and become productive members of society.
Disease Research and Prevention
Bill Crutchfield's innovative corporate wellness initiative, "Live Longer, Live Better,"
encourages and rewards employees to learn about and minimize health risks. Bill furthers
his commitment to wellness by serving on the University of Virginia Medical Center Operating Board.
We extend Bill's efforts to our hometown communities and the nation through contributions to local
organizations and hospitals that research and treat diseases of the heart, lungs, and kidneys,
Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, and birth defects.

The Crutchfield-sponsored MS150 bike team raises money to support our local chapter of the MS Society.
Community Services
Our company and employees are heavily involved in supporting the health, safety, and social service needs of our
communities. Through our support of local organizations that provide affordable housing, fire and rescue services,
literacy campaigns, assistance for disadvantaged community members, and activities that support a healthy community spirit,
we realize our mission to be responsible community stewards.
Crutchfield's charitable donations are given to non-profit organizations in Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, and Norton, Virginia. We focus our giving in the areas of education, disease research and prevention, community services, and the arts.
