Ellensburg, Washington (January 10, 2020) – December 3, 2019, Court Advocates for Children hosted its 34th Annual Auction and Dinner, Celebration of Hope, at Sue Lombard Hall. This event is a celebration of Court Advocates’ work in the community advocating for abused and neglected children.
“Celebration of Hope is an inspiring and fun-filled evening to honor its volunteer advocates and raise awareness and funds to sustain advocacy for abused and neglected children in our community,” said Carol Pidduck, Court Advocates for Children Executive Director. “The staff, board of directors, and many generous volunteers worked hard to create this fantastic event.”
This year’s auction boasted more than 90 items, including Mariners’ tickets and merchandise, a priceless Central Washington University football experience, a golf getaway and stay at Suncadia Resort and much, much more! More than 180 guests attended this sold out event, raising over $50,000. Court Advocates for Children could not properly advocate for the abused and neglected children without the generous support of this caring community.
The 2019 Celebration of Hope committee would like to thank its incredible sponsors!
