Long Branch, NJ – Volunteers and staff with Family & Children’s Service (FCS), Monmouth County’s oldest, private nonprofit social service agency, anticipate a productive year of varied and entertaining fundraisers in 2018. Plans are already underway for most of the agency’s annual events, including the Spring Luncheon and Fashion Show hosted by the FCS Navarumsunk Auxiliary, the FCS Golf Classic and the agency’s largest fundraiser of the year, FCS Leading Lights Gala.
FCS serves over 9,000 people annually addressing issues of homelessness; neglect, abuse or exploitation; health and respite care; financial instability due to physical or mental disabilities; childhood literacy and obesity; long-term care planning and Medicare counseling. While the agency partners with many organizations and government agencies to provide services, its fundraisers are vital to sustaining the organization’s work in the community.
“In many cases, we are the sole county-designated provider of unduplicated services and often the last hope for individuals and families in crisis,”
FCS Director of Development Diane Gribbin explains. “Our fundraising events are a true partnership between volunteers and staff that ultimately benefits every person FCS serves.”
The list of 2018 FCS fundraising events include:
