Birthday Bash ‘21 Welcome to Family Sunshine Center’s 40th Birthday Bash! Tonight is a celebration of over 40 years of services, programs and successes of an agency that started in 1981 to combat the effects of family violence on women and children. The original shelter, a 4-bedroom victorian home opened its doors in 1981. In its first year the shelter housed 160 women and between 370 and 390 children. Volunteers answered 600 crisis calls. Over the ensuing years, thousands of victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking have found the services, programs, counseling, safe shelter, and compassion they have needed through our doors. In addition to our victim services, thousands of local students, business people, community members, religious and civic groups have been educated on the severity and nuances of these issues through our outreach and prevention education programs. Fostering Hope and Healing is not just our slogan; it is the commitment of each and every member of our team from our board of directors, to our volunteers, and our staff.

Thank you for joining us this evening. This event is not only a celebration but a fundraiser as well to maintain and expand the programs and services you provide.

Your kindness, generosity, and compassion towards those in need is a gift that can never fully be repaid.

I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the generosity and support of our sponsors, especially our Presenting Sponsors The JK Lowder Family Foundation and Barrie and Laura Harmon. Our sponsors not only provide the vital funding we need for this event and our services; they are also outspoken advocates for our mission. We would be unable to continue providing services at this level without their generosity and support.

So sit back and get comfortable, grab your drawdown ticket, and enjoy this special evening we have planned. There will be lots of great music, engaging stories, some laughs, and maybe a special guest or two.

Thank you for celebrating our birthday with us,

Tay Knight Executive Director, Family Sunshine Center
