Hibiscus Children’s Center Hosted “An Evening in Paris” to Benefit Children

“An Evening in Paris” was a fabulous affair held at the beautiful Hutchinson Shores Spa & Resort.  This lovely event benefited the children served by Hibiscus Children’s Center and helps to provide critical services to improve their lives.   Guests enjoyed a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner and dancing to the sounds of DJ Brian Lemen.  A highlight of the evening was the Casino where guests had fun rolling the dice and our top three highest rollers won exciting prizes!

Children living at Hibiscus Children’s Center receive life-changing services including educational and literacy services, medical and dental services, and mental health counseling.  Hibiscus often receives children at all hours of the day and night. The stress endured from being removed from their home is traumatic. They walk through the doors of Hibiscus and into the staff’s hearts and the healing begins. It is because of your unwavering support that Hibiscus continues to provide safe haven and life changing services every day to vulnerable children.
