Press release:
BATAVIA — Kiwanis Club of Batavia is gearing up for its third annual Gala fundraiser, "Bidding on a Brighter Future." With a different venue, live entertainment, a great menu and specialty raffles, this event will offer something for everyone as it raises money to help the Children's Advocacy Center right here in Batavia.
It's set to begin at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 at The Forum at Genesee Community College, 1 College Road.
Over the last two years, the gala has brought in more than $70,000 to support a new location for the Center. In the meantime, the Center has been in progress with moving to a temporary location next to First Presbyterian Church. That will allow Center staff to save money on rent and instead use it for crucial services for child victims of sexual abuse.
Hundreds of children and families use this center throughout the course of a year for medical, legal, emotional and law enforcement assistance. The Center serves families in Genesee, Orleans, Wyoming and Livingston counties.
The Gala Committee welcomes and encourages local businesses, organizations and individuals to support this event. You may do so by becoming a sponsor, making a donation for one of the many auctions or by purchasing a program ad.
Tickets are $50 a person or $400 for a table of 10. Special sponsorship levels are also available, such as a $500 table for 10 that includes promotional perks.
