Gala lets group keep supporting the community
22.05.12
In 2010, the number of client visits to Christian Counselling Services more than doubled over that of the previous year. The increased client load confirms not only the centre's need for expanded work space and a larger counselling team, but deeper pockets for the CCS Benevolent Fund upon which 60 per cent to 65 per cent of clients rely for financial help with their counselling fees.
Every year, Christian Counselling Services holds a fundraising event to address such needs. Fundraisers in the past have generally been fun evenings with Christian artists or entertainers on the program. This year the organization is hosting something a little different.
"We're hosting an evening gala on Friday, March 2, at the Riverside Golf and Country Club," CCS executive director Heather Tomes says.
Dessert is exquisitely decorated cakes that will be auctioned by the keynote speaker, Phil Callaway, an internationally acclaimed author and speaker. Radio talk show host John Gormley will be master of ceremonies for the evening and Danny Fong will provide the dinner music.
