Gala Highlights
In 2011, St. Christopher’s Children held its inaugural dinner/dance fundraiser. Our objectives were to increase community understanding of who we are and what we do and to raise funds to help needy kids in our community. Attendees enjoyed a reception, a full-course dinner, dancing and special presentations. They also took part in the auctions, raffles and wine pulls that provided a significant part of the money raised at the event. The event’s success encouraged St. Christopher’s Children to make it an annual affair.
Our 2012 Gala, Big Hearts Helping Little Hearts: A Special Evening for the Children, proved to be another enjoyable evening serving a very worthy cause, Helping Kids in Crisis When No One Else is There. We want to thank all the sponsors, donors, donors-in-kind and participants who have joined with us to make a difference in the lives of over 1,250 needy kids in our community.
St. Christopher’s Children thanks these caring people and businesses in our community for their contribution to the children in need in Georgetown County.
