Hello to our valued business partners and supporters,
 
As The Guidance Center marks its 68th year of providing hope, healing and resilience in children and adults in our community, it is our pleasure to present our compelling sponsorship opportunities for the agency’s two signature events to provide educational opportunities to children and support of families and support our life-saving Kids-TALK Children’s Advocacy Center.
 
Our popular Summer Glow event on Friday, June 5, 2026 will be held at the beautiful Grosse Ile home of Chris & Susan Hancock. Join Katie Daly Vitale, Santina Daly Bragadin, and Christina Daly Gruber for their fifth year as Event Chairs to raise funds for our Community Resource Center in River Rouge and our Nurture the Future Program with the focus to help Downriver parents and families thrive.
 
We are excited to share that our 25th Anniversary Kids-TALK Gala (formerly Grape Expectations for Kids Dinner) will be held at the exquisitely restored Michigan Central station on Friday, September 18, 2026. This milestone anniversary of the work to protect children who have suffered from sexual or physical abuse, neglect or trauma has moved to one of the most exciting historic locations in Detroit. It will be an evening to remember as the agency highlights Wayne County’s only Children’s Advocacy Center in this shining venue that brightly sparkles in our great city.
 
Please join us as a sponsor for these stunning events as a key partner with
The Guidance Center to fulfill its mission: Nurture development. Foster resilience. Cultivate well-being.
