HIBISCUS CHILDREN’S CENTER HONORS CHILDREN AT BLUE RIBBON LUNCHEON & FASHION SHOW
Vero Beach, FL – To commemorate Child Abuse Prevention Month, Hibiscus Children’s Center will host the annual Blue Ribbon Luncheon & Fashion Show on Thursday, April 2, 2020, at the Oak Harbor Club in Vero Beach. This year’s theme “Garden Party” is a perfect picture of how the Hibiscus Village plants the seed to help our youth grow and blossom into young adults who can dream of a bright and successful future.
The festivities will begin at 11am with a champagne reception and guests will have the opportunity to bid on fabulous silent auction items and purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win some very special prizes. The runway fashion show will feature looks from Casp Baby, Cooper & Co., Frances Brewster, J. McLaughlin, Melange, Sara Campbell Ltd, Sassy Boutique, and Tendencies. Don’t forget to wear your favorite hat!
The event co-chairs, Susie Kintner, Dr. Abby Ley, and Elaine O’Neil, and their dedicated committee of volunteers, are planning an elegant afternoon that guests will remember while raising funds and awareness about child abuse. The “Blue Ribbon Campaign” is a tribute to Bonnie Finney’s three-year old grandson who died at the hands of his mother’s abusive boyfriend in 1989. Since that time, concerned citizens all over the country have worn the blue ribbon during Child Abuse Prevention Month to symbolize the need to prevent child abuse and neglect. We hope you will join us on April 2nd as we all come together to enjoy a memorable afternoon, but most importantly, to help keep youth safe. Since our inception 35 years ago, Hibiscus Children’s Center has provided over 375,000 nights of safety to abused children and youth and provides daily care along with educational and medical services, professional mental health counseling and career training.
