6th Annual 2010 JFP Chick Ball is July 24
The Jackson Free Press created the JFP Chick Ball in 2004 for two reasons: to raise education about and money to fight domestic abuse in Mississippi; and to showcase women musicians and artists to a diverse audience. The JFP Chick Ball is designed to be affordable so that anyone 18 or older can contribute to this very vital fundraiser. The cover charge is only $5, but we offer many fun ways to raise more money once guests are inside the event (from a game alley to a huge silent auction).
Everyone age 18+ welcome. Call event coordinator ShaWanda Jacome at 601.362.6121 ext. 16, or e-mail .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), to donate or get involved.
Proceeds of the 2010 JFP Chick Ball will go to the [urlhttp://mscvp.org/=Center for Violence Prevention[/url] in Pearl. In the past, the JFP Chick Ball has raised seed money for a batterer's intervention program to help stop domestic abuse and bought the shelter a new minivan. This year, we are raising money for a legal fund to help families get to safety and stay there. Please help us.
