Strengthening FAMILIES and keeping CHILDREN safe

Relief Nursery Newsletter Vol. 40 Iss. 3 Spring/Summer 2017 WE ROCKED THE CASBAH!

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of many, One Night in Casablanca was a wildly successful evening for the children. The vision of chairs Megan and Matt Dompe transported us to a colorful and festive souk (marketplace) accented with authentic imports from Eugene’s own Moroccan Buzz. The Dompes described their experience as better than they could have even imagined – “You have built this amazing family of staff, board members, volunteers and donors all working toward this common goal. We’re proud to be part of this family.” And Relief Nursery is grateful to them for the countless hours and creative passion they brought to Main Event. Dr. Glenn Keiper Jr., with Presenting Sponsor KeiperSpine, spoke to Relief Nursery’s compelling outcomes for children and families and noted that such success should be acknowledged and celebrated. Guests were treated to a special musical selection, “No One is Alone” performed by Ellie Williams. Ellie selected this song because she “knows the staff and teachers at Relief Nursery truly help both kids and parents feel like they are not alone.” Ellie embodies what we all want for children – the opportunity to meet their full potential and the chance to achieve their wildest dreams. We are forever grateful to the incomparable auction team of Hank and Sid Voorhees. This was their 27th auction on behalf of Relief Nursery. The value of their expertise cannot be understated. Main Event is our largest fundraiser of the year – the monies generated directly fund our programs that help strengthen families and keep children safe. Your support is essential to our mission!
