22nd Annual Holiday Auction
Presented by SPORTS ENDEAVORS
The 22nd Annual Holiday Auction was a big success for the Center, bringing in over $65,000 to help fund Center services. The auction brought out the Center's most dedicated supporters; the Center's founder, Miriam Slifkin was present as well as Gerrie Nunn, the founder of our Holiday Auction. We would like to thank everyone who attended, volunteered, staffed, sponsored and donated to the Holiday Auction. We would especially like to give a special thank you to Sports Endeavors for being a Leadership Sponsor for the event. The communities continued support allows us to provide necessary crisis intervention and educational programming throughout Orange County. The event boasted almost 300 items to choose from donated by 170 local businesses and individuals and over 200 guests. During the evening the Center highlighted our Latina/o services program and after a moving presentation of the importance of culturally competent services attendees donated $2,000 to help continue our very successful efforts of outreach and crisis response services for the Spanish-speaking population. The Center is appreciative of everyone who continues to make this event successful and we look forward to seeing you all next year.
WCHL Presented the center with a Village Pride Award for its work on the auction and in the community. Listen to a new interview with Lucy McMillan and Shamecca Bryant:
