Elizabeth Gardner emcees Raising Hope event
WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner emceed the Raising Hope silent auction and dinner on Thursday, June 6, 2019.
>>> ELIZABETH GARDNER SERVED AS
THE MC FOR THE RAISING HOPE
EVENT IN RALEIGH.
THE DINNER AND SILENT AUCTION
HELPED RAISE MONEY FOR FOSTER
CHILDREN IN OUR AREA.
>> THAT WAS A NICE EVENT.
>> IT WAS SUCH A NICE EVENT.
WHEN THEY ASKED ME, I DIDN'T
KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT WHAT THEY
DO THERE.
THEY HELP THE KIDS IN FOSTER
CARE TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD.
SO WITHOUT THIS KIND OF HELP BY
18 MONTHS OUT OF THE FOSTER
CARE SYSTEM, HALF OF THEM ARE
HOMELESS.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN
INCREDIBLE NUMBER.
SO ALL THE YOUTH HELPED BY THE
YOUTH CENTER AND COLLEGE AND
APARTMENTS.
BUT A WONDERFUL PROGRAM.
SO THANKS FOR INVITING ME TO BE
