Summer Glow
Our 2024 Event Chairs Katie Daly Vitale, Santina Daly Bragadin, Christina Daly Gruber, and Marie Campo Daly invite you to kick off the summer season while enjoying a breathtaking view of the Detroit River at the beautiful home of Michael & Amber Sabat. Dinner outdoors with an expansive waterfront view and a live auction highlight the evening.
Summer Glow supports the work of The Guidance Center’s three Community Resource Centers (CRCs) in River Rouge, Southgate and Taylor (two of which are housed in our Head Start sites), which bring hope and resources to adults and children through various programs including playgroups, literacy events, parenting resources, Clothing Closet, Diaper Depot, and a Toy Chest. For example, the Toy Chest allows parents to “shop” for a new toy to give to their child on birthdays or other special occasions. There is no cost for any services provided through the Community Resource Centers, all of which are open to the public. You can learn more about the CRCs here.
Sponsorship support brings meaningful programs and services to life for families in our community through the CRCs and Head Start/Early Head Start (focused on income-eligible families), as well as funding for the agency’s Early Childhood Programs through our Budd Lynch Endowment Fund for Children.
