“FUN-raiser” to benefit organization’s work to prevent child abuse and neglect

On Saturday, October 25, 2014, FAMILIES NETWORK of Western CT, Inc. will host their Annual Halloween Costume Party at the Matrix Conference and Banquet Center in Danbury. The annual event, dubbed a “FUN-raiser”, will benefit the Danbury community organization’s child abuse and prevention efforts.

The Halloween Costume Party will feature a DJ, dancing, hors d’oeuvres, a dessert buffet, and cash bar. In addition, there will be a silent auction for a variety of gifts and services provided by local businesses. The main event will be a contest for the best costumes, with (cash prizes for the first, second, third place?) winners. Tickets for the FUN-raiser are $25 per person and benefit FAMILIES NETWORK of Western CT, Inc.

 “Last year’s Halloween Party was a huge success,” said Susan Giglio, Executive Director of FAMILIES NETWORK of Western CT, Inc. “Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our business community and individual supporters, we were able to raise close to $8,000 towards our child abuse and neglect prevention efforts.”
