SILENT AUCTION: You may bid by writing your bid number opposite the

DESSERT DASH: Your table will want first choice in selecting your dessert for

the evening. Each guest will have a Dessert Card and each table a Dessert

Envelope. Follow the lead of the auctioneer. She will instruct you to write your

bid number and donation amount on the Dessert Card. This amount will be

automatically added to your receipt for the evening. One guest at each table

will gather the cards and total them on the front of the Dessert Envelope. We

will do the rest. The totals are ranked from high to low and desserts are

selected in order. The table with the highest donation total receives first choice

of a dessert plus champagne.

LIVE AUCTION: Please feel free to come up and carefully look over all of the

Live Auction displays from the time the doors open until the start of the Live

Auction. To bid in the Live Auction, hold your bid number up high for the

Grand Giveaway Raffle Only 199 tickets are available for $25 each. The winner

of the raffle receives $1,000 to take as a credit on their

auction purchases. That’s right, for the price of a $25

raffle ticket, the winner potentially wins a grand, a

thousand dollars, worth of credit toward

their auction purchases. All proceeds from the raffle go to provide support

services for foster and adopted children and their foster/

adoptive parents through Brigid Collins’ Foster Vision

program.

SILENT AUCTION PROCEEDS

Every $75 raised in our Silent Auction provides an at-risk

child and their family with a Parent-Child Interaction

Therapy (PCIT) parenting education session. This highly

acclaimed program has been proven to build strong

parenting skills through hands-on, one-on-one coaching with

a parenting specialist. Families who need this intensive

intervention have found it available at Brigid Collins for over

eight years.

BRIGID COLLINS FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER

The mission of the Brigid Collins Family Support Center is to

break the cycle of child abuse. Our goals are that the

children we work with will not become victims of abuse and

for those who have been abused, that it will never happen

again.

Based on research and our own experience, we know if our

families effectively use community resources to build their

strengths and address their issues, if they reduce their

degree of isolation, and if they improve their family

management and parenting skills, child abuse will be less

likely to occur.

These are outcomes we strive for in all of our programs.

In 2014, approximately 2,000 families received support

from our prevention and treatment programs and benefited

from more than 31,000 contacts made with them directly or

with other service providers on their behalf.

Parents and children frequently share their gratitude for the

positive and lasting difference our services have made in

their lives.

Prevention works, treatment heals, and your support builds

strong families. Together we are breaking the cycle of child

abuse.

Page 17: Brigid Collins 25th Anniversary Auction Catalog

Page 17

Live auction proceeds will support the

‘one stop’ child-friendly services at the

Children’s Advocacy Center.

The Children’s Advocacy Center provides legal advocacy,

child interviews, medical evaluations, investigation team

staffings, family support, and therapeutic services for

children who are abused. The Center also provides

education and prevention services.

Child abuse hurts.

Our community response shouldn’t.

Thank you for your support!
