Ninth Annual Circle of Strength Fundraising Luncheon Amazing Success!

More than 200 woman came together on October 16 at Riverside Golf and Country Club to help raise money for the mental health care of women and children living in poverty.  Through generous sponsorship, individual donations and raffle tickets, the event raised more than $75,000 to help pay for desperately needed care.

Circle of Strength

The Northwest Catholic Counseling Center has a special commitment to disenfranchised single women and mothers. Overwhelming odds face this population:

  • 140,000 Oregon children live below the federal poverty level ($22,050 a year for a family of four).
  • Nearly 1 in 3 women will suffer from domestic violence, 40% of whom will become homeless.
  • 110,000 Oregon children have no health insurance.
  • Depression is the leading cause of disability in women.

As a result of this event, low-income women and their children will receive:

  • Individual and family counseling
  • Community connections (jobs, education, financial and legal support)
  • Effective parenting and life skills
  • Supportive environment for change
  • School consultation

Thanks to Our Sponsors!
Without the generous support of our sponsors, this event would not have been possible.
