TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN — Traverse Bay Children’s Advocacy Center (TBCAC) is excited to host its annual fundraiser luncheon, Circle of Friends, at the Great Wolf Lodge Conference Center in Traverse City, MI on Thursday, October 2. The event brings together the organization’s greatest supporters to celebrate the mission’s impact. TBCAC is recognizing 15 years of restoring justice, hope, and healing in Northwest Michigan and the nonprofit will premier an organizational video during the program. Attendees will also have the opportunity to bid on unique silent auction items and experience packages. All proceeds from the Circle of Friends luncheon directly benefit TBCAC’s mission and will help them continue to provide free intervention, therapy, and prevention services throughout our region.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for local businesses and community organizations alike to align themselves with a mission that is doing more to keep kids safe,” said Madeline Saucedo, Director of Fund Development at TBCAC. “As we navigate an uncertain federal funding landscape, it will mean so much to have our community there, wrapping its arms around youth, helping pave the way to a safer, and brighter future for all.” 

Table sponsorships and individual tickets are available for purchase online at traversebaycac.org/circle-of-friends. Folks can follow TBCAC’s Facebook and Instagram account(s) to stay up to date on events and other ways to get involved @traversebaycac.
