The Purple Ribbon Luncheon proceeds will benefit FamilyTime Crisis & Counseling Center.

Community members have joined hands to help make FamilyTime Crisis & Counseling Center’s fifth annual Purple Ribbon Luncheon be another huge success. The annual event is in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and in honor of FamilyTime’s Women of Achievement 1990-2014. It will be held on Friday, October 9 from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Kingwood Country Club.

This year’s Purple Ribbon Luncheon will again have a very special speaker. FamilyTime provides services and shelter to victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. It has been a resource and safe haven for victims of human trafficking. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the speaker’s compelling story.
Attendees are encouraged to join the social hour and silent auction viewing from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. The guests will have the chance to bid on items such as an ice cream maker, boy’s and girl’s bikes, restaurant gift card package, wine package, rodeo package, amethyst jewelry, hand carved jewelry box, American Girl Doll, Vera Bradley set, golf for 4 at Walden, etc. There will also be a Wine Pull table where guests can select a quality bottle of wine.

Make a difference and be a part of this event. FamilyTime is reaching out to local businesses to participate by donating to the silent auction. Please remember that no donation is ever too small. Each donation will be recognized and on display the day of the event. Every gift is significant, and every gift makes a difference in keeping families safe.

The Purple Ribbon Luncheon proceeds will benefit FamilyTime Crisis & Counseling Center. The committee’s goal is to raise funds so that FamilyTime can continue its valuable work in the community.
