$520K+ raised at Child Guidance Center gala

The Child Guidance Center of Southern Connecticut (CGC) netted more than $520,000 from its sold-out annual gala for children”™s mental health services in lower Fairfield County. The event took place at the Wee Burn Beach Club in Rowayton. About 300 attended.

“We raised nearly $60,000 from the silent and live auctions,” said CGC”™s Director of Community Engagement Jeannine Egdorf. “We couldn”™t have generated this funding without the tremendous support from the local businesses who graciously donated auction items.”

During the event, CGC”™s Board Chairman Jay Sandak presented the CGC”™s inaugural Distinguished Public Service Award and a citation from U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal to Viking Global Foundation.
