‘Shop For a Cause’ craft fair to benefit Prudence Crandall Center

BERLIN — More than business owners, Rosalee Frank and Courtney Johnson shared personal experiences. Three years ago, both decided to support domestic violence survivors through their vendor and craft fair, Shop For A Cause, held on Friday, benefiting The Prudence Crandall Center (PCC).

“We opened our salon (The Color Platform) with the intention of building up not only our brand but most importantly our community,” Frank told the Herald. “We figured creating this event could achieve three things: promote local business, spread awareness of domestic violence in addition to providing resources, and most importantly, raise monetary and physical donations for PCC.”
