As part of this fantastic evening, we will host a silent auction where you can bid on exciting items.
This year marks the 16th edition of “Band Together for Kids,” a cherished tradition that has continually bolstered community support for area families and children. Over the years, we’ve witnessed generous donations of food, gift baskets, and talented musicians who have made this event a success.
The proceeds from “Band Together for Kids” will be dedicated to purchasing Christmas presents for area children facing special circumstances that prevent their participation in One Stop Community Christmas. Our dedicated members of the Citizens Against Child Abuse committee collaborate with social services agencies to identify children and families in need, ensuring their Christmas wishes come true.
If you’d like to contribute an item to our Silent Auction, please contact Kristen Bertrand, President of Citizens Against Child Abuse, at 217-512-0973.
Join us for “Band Together for Kids” and make a difference in the lives of local children this holiday season. Your support helps ensure that no child is left without the joy of Christmas.
