Family Promise of Green County to Celebrate 10th Anniversary

Family Promise of Green County celebrates its 10th Anniversary this year. The Green County affiliate was founded in November 2011, and since that time it has served over 300 families, a total of over 700 people, half of which have been children. The Family Promise three-tiered model seeks to prevent families from becoming homeless, provide shelter to those who need it, and empower families to independence through stabilization.
Each year, Family Promise of Green County hosts its signature “10 Grand in Your Hand” fundraiser. While 2020’s event was cancelled, this year it will be held virtually on Thursday, June 17, 2021, via Facebook Live. The evening kicks off at 6:00 p.m., with the first ticket holders being drawn. Every 10th ticket wins a $100 prize. A short Q&A with Executive Director Rick Gleason will occur around 7:00 p.m. The evening will be interspersed with music by Rock Rebel Junction. At 7:45 p.m., the final ticket holders are drawn. The last ticket to be drawn, provided there isn’t a split, wins $10,000!
