Fundraising and Events

Fundraising/Donation Opportunities

The Child Center has a number of fundraising opportunities for people who would like to make a donation to a program that serves children with severe mental and emotional disorders. For smaller donations, please check out our "donation opportunities" web page. We maintain a wish list of a variety of materials and supplies that we can use with the children in our programs. We also accept larger donations in the form of office equipment, school equipment such as desks and computers, as well as anything else that may benefit the children and families we serve.

Cash donations are also gladly accepted. We use cash donations to purchase food baskets, provide emergency medical relief for families and clothing for children.

Large cash or property donations may be made on a restricted or single use basis. In this case the donation is made for a specific use or to our endowment fund in which only the interest that is generated by the donation may be used.

As mentioned above, we also sponsor a major annual fundraising event know as the Mardi Gras Auction. Again, if you are interested in making a donation to this event or attending, please visit our "Mardi Gras" web site for additional information.

There are numerous opportunities for anyone to make a large or small donation. Every donation is very much appreciated and will be used in the most meaningful manner possible. The Child Center is a tax exempt, 501 (C) (3), nonprofit organization.
