Our History
Capitol Children's Foundation, Inc. (CCF) was founded in 2003 by Dan Plante and Karl Celtnieks when they were touched by the emotional struggle of a 10 year old girl named Allie Miller who was battling a rare form of pediatric cancer. With an idea of wanting to help children, Dan and Karl reached out to several local business leaders and formed CCF. The first year, the CCF focus was to raise money to help find a cure for Allie's disease. However, Allie eventually lost her battle with cancer on May 13, 2004. CCF has since expanded to provide funds to organizations that meet the direct needs of children. Currently, 100% of all dollars raised goes towards children in need.
