As most of you know, I work for a non-profit called Collin County Children's Advocacy Center. I've worked there almost two years as a Special Events Manager. My primary job is to put together special events to raise money for the center. I try my very best not to solicit family and friends for donations but becuase of these uncertain economic times I've decided to post a plea for help on the Boatwright blog. The Center is a multi-displinary team that provides services to abused and neglected children. The Center houses law enforcement, CPS, the District Attorney's office and therapy services in one location. There is a link on the right to the CCCAC and Gala website if you'd like to learn more.
In December the Center saw 700 children in therapy. In June we saw just over 1,000 kids and we are seeing an average of 15 kids a day who have allegedly been abused. We are seeing more kids than ever before and our donations have decreased. We have always prided ourselves on the fact we provide services to 100% of our clients free of charge. The Gala raises a significant portion of funds for the Center and we are relying on this event to generate the income we need to continue providing services to every client for free. All Center staff has been asked to sell at least 5 car raffle tickets to meet our Gala goals. If you are in a situation to purchase a car raffle ticket and you are feeling lucky - I've got a great deal for you. For $100 you have the chance to win one of three Lexus and a year of free gas. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold and the winning ticket will be drawn on May 16th and you need not be present to win. If you are interested you can use the below link to purchase online and just say you heard about the raffle from Melody or you are more than welcome to mail a check. CCCAC, Attn: Melody Boatwright, 2205 Los Rios Blvd, Plano, TX 75093. Thank You.
