FRIENDS of Child Advocates of Fort Bend, an auxiliary volunteer group supporting Child Advocates of Fort Bend (CAFB), will host its annual membership social and fashion show at 11811 Sendera Lane in Richmond on Thursday, April 13 from 6pm – 8pm. All are welcome to attend and join in the fun!
In addition to socializing and hors d-oeuvres, guests will enjoy a style show by Fabulous You and learn more about what their membership dues have been able to do to support the children served by Child Advocates of Fort Bend. Their Special Needs Fund underwrites the needs of children in the foster care system that other providers are unable to offer – items that most people take for granted. The fund has underwritten backpacks filled with school supplies, summer camp tuition, tutoring, caps and gowns for graduating seniors and computers for college students. FRIENDS has more than 100 members and is managed by a Council which provides volunteer opportunities and social events throughout the year. Annual membership dues are $40 per year. Membership is open to anyone.
