Charity Fundraising Packages and the Family Nurturing Center are proud to announce their partnership for the upcoming âAugust Affairâ fundraising event on Friday August 23, 2013 from 7:00 to 11:00 pm at the Radisson Hotel Cincinnati Riverfront located in Covington, KY. All proceeds from the August Affair benefit Family Nurturing Centerâs mission to end the child abuse by promoting individual well-being and healthy family relationships. Family Nurturing Center has been serving northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati for more than 30 years. They offer services and programs free-of-charge for children and families experiencing the impact of child abuse. Their services and programs focus on education, prevention and treatment of all forms of child abuse and neglect. This is the 19th year for Family Nurturing Center to host the August Affair and it is their largest fundraiser of the year with an average crowd of 350 of some of the areaâs most respected business, civic and philanthropic leaders.
This event is not a typical gala fundraiser. Because of the huge success of last yearâs event, the volunteer planning committee has decided to bring back the theme of Boots and Heels. As a non-formal event, guests are encouraged to wear their Best Boots and Hottest Heels to this classic rock and the best of country remix party. There will be a live rock and roll band playing as well as craft beer testing, live entertainment, dancing, games and a best boot and hottest heels contest. There will also be two hours of open bar, a signature drink and all night heavy themed hors dâouevres. A live and silent auction will be held as a portion of the entertainment with professional benefits auctioneer Susan Johnson. Director of Media Relations for Charity Fundraising Packages, Phillip Ryan comments, âThe Family Nurturing Center has developed a unique and fun event this year. Our no risk auction items performed exceptionally well for them last year and we think this year’s auction is even going to top that! There is truly something for everyone at this event.â
Tracy Fuchs, Director of Marketing and Special Events for the Family Nurturing Center is excited to partner with Charity Fundraising Packages for the second time this year. She states, âOur live auction almost doubled in net revenue and our silent auction went up by $1,000 last year, which increased total net revenue by $22,000.â
Fuchs comments, âCharity Fundraising Packages assisted us in selecting no risk auction items that would drive high bids and interest our guests. It is nice to partner with a company where we are confident that the products they offer for auction are legitimate and authentic.â Charity Fundraising Packages will be providing auction items including an autographed âLegends of Rockâ guitar featuring nine celebrity autographs, a Miracle on Ice Signed Poster and a framed print poster signed by all six actors who played as James Bond.
