Opportunity Details
Children's Center Healing Garden Gala (age 18+) Referral
Children’s Center’s mission is to support and medically assess children who are suspected victims of abuse or neglect.
The Healing Garden Gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year, where guests are invited to heal the deep wounds of child abuse. Attendees enjoy silent and live auctions, live music, a special speaker, and a scrumptious dinner under the stars.
Volunteers at the Gala will have a direct impact on the success of the Healing Garden Gala, which in turn helps bring hope and healing to our community’s most vulnerable children. Revenue from this event will help support life-changing services we provide.
