1 5 Y e a r s ...
15 years ago, the Crisis Center made a bold move to hold a social-style fundraiser to help with its expanding range of services.
The first event; held at the Performing Arts Center raised just over $15,000.
Who would have guessed that 15 years later, the event would raise over a quarter-million dollars annually.
It's all because of YOUR overwhelming generosity and support in the name of improving the lives of NWI's children & families.
This anniversary is a celebration of thanks to each and every attendee, bidder, committee-person, volunteer and contributor since 1995. |
