Time for a Spring Fling to Benefit Kids in Crisis

Since Kids in Crisis received the devastating news that their state funding was cut this winter, the Greenwich community has rallied aroudn the cause, launching a series of fundraisers from the jar on the counter at Minute Men Cleaners to t-shirt sales at the new Year’s Day plunge at Tod’s Point.

This Friday, April 1 at Greenwich Country Club, the Spring Fling: In the Spirit of the Olympics gala will benefit Kids in Crisis.

Angela Swift, Gretchen Fedeli, Jami Sherwood and Nancy Armstrong are co-chairs for the Olympics-themed event, which will raise much-needed funds for the shelter.

The event celebrates “The Spirit of the Olympics” and promises to be a casually elegant evening of exquisite food, live and silent auctions, and exciting entertainment.  No jeans, no ties please. The fun begins at 6:30pm. The event is expected to sell out early. Tickets can be purchased at www.kidsincrisis.org.

Kids in Crisis is Connecticut’s only free, round-the-clock agency providing emergency shelter, crisis counseling and community educational programs for children of all ages and families dealing with a wide range of crises – domestic violence, mental health and family problems, substance abuse, economic difficulties and more. Since its founding in 1978, Kids in Crisis has helped more than 132,000 Connecticut children and families; last year, 6,184 children and families received assistance from the organization.

Greenwich Country Club is located at 19 Doubling Rd.
