With more than 500 guests in attendance, Children Inc.’s Raising of the Green Gala raised over $145,000.
The gala portion of the event included live and silent auctions, music and dinner, while guests at the after-party enjoyed the gaming tables. Patrick Hughes, partner at DBL Law, received the Charity in Action Award.
Funds raised enable the organization to provide tuition assistance to families for child care, as well as offer scholarships for parents seeking post-secondary education and training to become self-sufficient and find gainful employment.
