Behind the Mask

Behind the Mask is a celebration of Mardi Gras, held in LaGrange. Each year in the past, a Royal Court of King & Queen candidates has raised money throughout the community to support the kids served by the LaGrange programs of Twin Cedars. This year, we are introducing a TEAMS format for our Royal Court! Click the link below to learn more. Our Royal Court Teams will be seeking your votes ( each $1 equals 1 vote) between now and Spring, and the team with the most votes WINS! Sponsorships count as votes. For the event itself, we plan to hold a Summertime Mardi Gras on August 14, 2021, at the Del’Avant, featuring live music & an elegant dinner. As long as it is safe to do so, we will certainly be ready to let the good times roll!

Event Information

 

Chattahoochee CASA - Red Shoe Party

April is National Child Abuse Awareness & Prevention month and we are excited to invite you to support our mission and join us for our safety-conscious community event.  “The Red Shoe Party” is a fundraising event themed around Dorothy’s ruby red slippers in the Wizard of Oz with the slogan, “There’s No Place like Home.” As children are removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, it is CASA’s mission to help them reach permanency in a safe, stable home as quickly as possible.

This event is designed to be a party with a purpose helping to raise money and awareness for Chattahoochee CASA so that our community volunteers have the training and support to continue advocating for our most vulnerable citizens. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, CASA advocacy continues. Now more than ever, CASA volunteers are of utmost importance in addressing immediate needs and bringing urgency to critical concerns.

Keeping Kids Safe Campaign 2020, benefiting Safe Families for Children

2020 has brought many unexpected challenges, but one thing is more true now than ever: parents facing a crisis need somewhere to turn for help when they are struggling to care for their children. The Covid-19 crisis has heightened the needs of families in LaGrange. And Safe Families for Children is here to help!

How? We do this by partnering with local churches who take on SFFC as a ministry of their church. SFFC volunteers are motivated by their faith to care for children and strengthen families. In the LaGrange area, many children are in peril simply because their family is socially isolated in their time of need. You can help us guarantee that in LaGrange, no parent feels desperate and alone.

But, we truly need your help now more than ever! Would you consider being an official Safe Families KEEPING KIDS SAFE Sponsor for 2021? By being an official sponsor of Safe Families in our community, you will be joining a distinguished circle of leaders…businesses, churches and families who join hands to say, “We protect the children in our community!” As we plan for serving more families in 2021, your donations are critical to ensuring that SFFC is here for families in crisis. Your sponsorship can be paid in full now, or you can spread it out on a monthly basis.

Christmas Campaign 2020

The “most wonderful time of the year” has finally arrived! In a year like this one has been, what would be the best gift we could receive…or give? How about the gift of overcoming?

At Christmas, many celebrate the birth of a Savior who was born so that we could overcome. May you enjoy safely connecting with friends and family during the holidays, and rejoice in your many blessings, knowing that the simple joys of the holidays bolster and lift us—reenergizing us for whatever comes next. You are on the list of blessings we will be celebrating! We are so grateful for you standing with us during this challenging year. Your charitable gift to Twin Cedars ensures that our kids can continue to overcome their fear and trauma and celebrate Christmas with joy.

As you plan your involvement for 2021, would you consider helping more children to “overcome,” by joining our Friends of Twin Cedars monthly giving club? Joining this exclusive group of friends is your way of saying you will partner on a monthly basis with Twin Cedars to help a child overcome the trauma of their past & achieve healing. Our goal this Christmas is to welcome 25 new friends! Whether your gift is $10/mo or $100/mo, you can make a difference in the life of a child!

Giving Tuesday

Get ready, friends! Before children arrive at Twin Cedars, they have often experienced the worst that life has to offer, being victimized or traumatized in ways that no child deserves. They need you!

On December 1st, you can help one child’s tomorrow be better than their yesterday. Giving Tuesday kicks off our Twin Cedars Holiday Campaign. Our goal is $25,000. Will you help a child?
