Children's Enrichment Center event supports working families

Grand Valley's Children's Enrichment Center will co-sponsor a "Twilight Gathering" aimed at raising awareness and funds for a nonprofit organization, Women's Caring Program, which helps support working families with early childhood education costs.

The event is set for Tuesday, July 12, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Frey Foundation courtyard at the DeVos Center on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus. Tickets for the event are $35 and can be purchased online at www.womenscaringprogram.org, click on "Grand Rapids Twilight Gathering" under Upcoming Events.

The Women's Caring Program was established 30 years ago to help children of the working poor with financial support for quality child care during the formative early education years.

Sharalle Arnold, director of the Children’s Enrichment Center, said six Twilight Gatherings will be held throughout Michigan and she is pleased to help host the Grand Valley event. "It's going to be a great night out to support a great cause," Arnold said. "Please join us in this 32-year tradition of women and men lending a supporting hand to families in need."
