Here’s a glimpse at the 2024 Annual Dinner!
The 2024 Annual Dinner was held on September 14, 2024, at Big Cat’s Catering and we are thrilled to report that it was a fantastic evening filled with inspiration and generosity, raising a little over $53,000 for Families First Community Center!
Instead of a keynote speaker, we featured a powerful video of resident testimonials, here, which deeply resonated with the audience. Hearing directly from those who have benefited from FFCC’s programs brought the impact of our mission to life in a way that words alone couldn’t. Many attendees commented on how moving and impactful it was to see the personal stories of growth, hope, and transformation.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a success: our dedicated staff, the FFCC Board of Directors, the Dinner Committee, all the volunteers and waitstaff, our auctioneer, Big Cat’s Catering, Bobby Cleveland and Mike Bennett, our community, the attendees, our business sponsors, media sponsors, table sponsors, in-kind donors, and all the businesses who purchased ads. Your hard work, dedication, and unwavering support made this evening—and all of our work—possible. Thank you!
Here’s a glimpse at the 2023 Annual Dinner.
The 2023 Annual Dinner was held on 9/23/2023. It was a successful and wonderful evening that we were thankful to spend with all who attended.
Big Cat’s Catering did a FANTASTIC job with the gourmet cuisine, and people won’t stop raving about it!
The soulful jazz from Bobby Cleveland and Mike Bennett was perfect for our cocktail hour and silent auction, and our dedicated volunteers really came together for a seamless evening.
Dr. Donna Beegle captivated our audience with her raw and real perspective on poverty and homelessness, opening our eyes to new views and ways of thinking, and giving us a new understanding of breaking down barriers and building up families.
We would like to thank everyone who made this event successful: Our staff, the FFCC board of directors, the dinner committee, all volunteers and waitstaff involved, our auctioneer, Big Cat’s Catering, Bobby Cleveland and Mike Bennett, Dr. Donna Beegle and staff, our community, dinner attendees, our business sponsors, media sponsors, table sponsors, in-kind donors, and businesses who purchased ads. Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, and commitment to FFCC and our biggest fundraiser of the year. All of the work we do is not possible without YOU!
