WHEN:

WHERE:
Cicero – Berwyn is celebrating its 38th
Anniversary!
We need your help! On Wednesday, April 20th
2016 the agency will host its largest fundraiser of the year, the 38th Annual “Hold My Hand”
Fundraiser at Crystal Sky Banquets. This event includes multiple raffles, an
art auction, ad book and silent auction.
Donations of gift certificates, tickets, sports and celebrity
memorabilia and gift baskets are just the type of incentives our guests need to
help boost auction bidding and raffle ticket sales. Opportunities to place an
ad in our event program book, to help underwrite costs or to sponsor the event
are also available.
Raising
funds is IMPERATIVE to help offset the State’s drastic cuts to early childhood
programming and child care subsidies that have taken an extreme toll on our
budgets this year. Our agency depends on
community fundraising, donations and grants to fulfill its mission.
Since
we started our first program in 1978 we have touched the lives of thousands of at-risk children from low
income families. We have opened seven
additional locations and currently
provide over ten different program options serving more than 890 families and their children from birth to 12
years. We serve families residing and/or working in Cicero, Berwyn and other
bordering communities. Our mission is to partner with parents to provide a strong
educational foundation to prepare children for future success.
Your participation will
have a direct impact on the children and families we serve, and the programs we offer. If you have any questions or need further
information regarding this event or how you can help the agency, please call Tracy Patton directly at 708-369-2568.
The Children’s Center of Cicero–Berwyn is a not-for-profit, registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to the education of children and their families. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
