Our Beginning

Founded in 2021, the CAFDC initially created the popular Artist Mixers which allowed the Foundation to meet, promote and introduce many of the Douglas County's best musicians and artists.

The CAFDC is a 501c3 that has been vigorously working to create platforms that showcase the incredible talents of our community and beyond.
