I am thrilled to share with you the delightful experiences from our recent fundraiser, The Butterfly Ball, held this past weekend at The Newberry.

The event was nothing short of magical, filled with music, dancing, and sumptuous food, providing fun for all ages. One of the most heartwarming sights was the gathering of multi-generational families. It was truly special to see grandparents alongside their children and grandchildren, sharing moments of joy and making memories together. Some danced the night away, while others sat back and watched the younger generations with smiles that lit up the room, as if they were reliving their own youthful days.

Our volunteers were indispensable, always ready to lend a hand with a warm “What do you need?” Their eagerness and dedication significantly contributed to the smooth execution of our event. Their hard work, along with the generous support from many local businesses and individual sponsors, helped make The Butterfly Ball a resounding success, raising essential funds to support the youngest members of our community.

As we look forward to next year’s event, we are filled with excitement and gratitude. We plan to start our preparations early to ensure we can achieve even greater success. Thank you to everyone who sponsored, volunteered, danced, and cheered—your support is what powers our efforts and underscores the adage that it indeed takes a village to raise children.

We can’t wait to see what we will accomplish next year.

Big shout-out to Westside Taco Johns! They’ve gone above and beyond by donating over $1,600 and lots of supplies to Toby’s House Crisis Nursery. We’re so grateful for their generous support and the amazing community of customers who made this possible. Your kindness is making a real difference for vulnerable children in our area. Thank you, Taco John’s and all the wonderful people who contributed!

Get ready for the Butterfly Ball, a special family event hosted by Toby’s House Crisis Nursery. This isn’t just any dance party – it’s a magical evening where kids and their parents can dress up, dance to family-friendly tunes, and enjoy lots of fun activities like face painting and photo ops. It’s all about laughter, fun, and creating beautiful memories together. And guess what? We’ve got some yummy food too!

But the Butterfly Ball is more than just a great time. Every dollar raised goes directly to Toby’s House, helping us provide free emergency care for kids aged 0-6 when their families face a crisis. This support is crucial in preventing child abuse and neglect. By joining us, you’re not just having a blast with your family; you’re also making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children in our community.

So, let’s come together for an afternoon of joy and support a great cause. See you at the Butterfly Ball!”
