Bobby and Carolyn Crabtree Honored for Corporate Leadership at American Red Cross Ruby Red and White Ball
On April 25, 2026, Bobby and Carolyn Crabtree were recognized as Corporate Leadership Award honorees at the American Red Cross Ruby Red and White Ball — a milestone gala marking the American Red Cross’s 40th anniversary in the region. The evening raised over $1.3 million to support the organization’s lifesaving mission across Connecticut, and we were proud to serve as a presenting sponsor of this extraordinary event.
Recognized for a Commitment to Community
The Corporate Leadership Award is presented to individuals and organizations that have demonstrated outstanding dedication to strengthening the communities they serve. Bobby and Carolyn were selected in recognition of their long-standing support of nonprofit organizations throughout Connecticut and their consistent willingness to step forward when neighbors are in need.
A Family Business Rooted in Connecticut
Colonial Toyota has been a cornerstone of the Milford, CT community for decades, and as part of the Crabtree Motor Group — five locations strong across Connecticut — we’ve built our reputation on more than automotive excellence. We believe that a great dealership is also a great neighbor, and Bobby and Carolyn lead by example every single day.
Supporting the American Red Cross Mission in Connecticut
The American Red Cross provides emergency disaster relief, blood services, health and safety training, and support for military families across Connecticut and beyond. Events like the Ruby Red and White Ball are critical to sustaining that work — and the $1.3 million raised on April 25th will directly fund America Red Cross programs serving our community.
We are honored to stand alongside the American Red Cross in that mission, and we congratulate all of the evening’s honorees and supporters who helped make the 40th anniversary celebration such a meaningful success.
