Mr. & Miss CR is a beloved Columbia River High School tradition where senior teams collaborate and compete to raise money for a local nonprofit. The season culminates in a student-led variety show, on Saturday, March 27th, where the top fundraising team is crowned Mr. & Miss CR. 

This year’s fundraising supports Friends of the Children – SW Washington, a nonprofit breaking cycles of generational poverty through long-term, professional mentorship. Each child receives one dedicated mentor from kindergarten through graduation—12+ years of consistent support.

Beyond raising funds, contestants visit the Friends’ Clubhouse and spend meaningful time with the youth, creating lasting connections and positive impact. 

Your support fuels both a vital community organization and the development of student leaders learning service, philanthropy, and compassion. It’s for the kids!
