We’ve combined our Gala and our Voices for Children Breakfast into one fabulous event
…a Summer Soiree!
Saturday, August 22, 2020
7pm until 10pm
at Child Advocates of Fort Bend’s New Davis George Campus
About the Soiree:
Upon entering our building you’ll follow the path a child takes when they come to our Center and will be enlightened on the multitude of services we offer and why they are necessary. The evening events include live and silent auction, wine & restaurant pulls, raffle, music, delicious food and more!
