Description

I am representative from the Carl Perkins Child Advocacy Center in Decatur County. We are seeking donations to include in our live auction at the Carl Perkins Bass Classic to be held on October 13th and 14th 2023 in Parsons TN. This is a two-day event consisting of a fishing tournament, live auction, and more. We are currently expecting to have 500-1000 people in attendance, but we do not have a limit to who shows up.  
The Event Benefits our Center, which is a non-profit that provides professional, therapeutic services to child abuse victims and non-offending family members at no cost at all. The mission of the Center is to provide support to families in preventing and dealing with child abuse in West Tennessee and to help both parents and children meet the practical needs of preserving and improving the quality of family life. All money raised will stay with the center to better help us serve our community and the children in it. Once again, we are a non-profit, so the funds raised from this event help us stay open. Our center has been open since 2006 and in that time, we have served over 650 families, 1600 children, and 1150 adults through our services. We specifically offer therapy, victim advocacy services, family advocacy services, and parenting classes.  
You can find additional information about our cause, mission, and history at https://www.carlperkinscenter.org/ 
I was enquiring to see if you would be willing to make a donation to be included in our live auction, which is a key part of our event. 
Should you donate, it will be recognized through description of auction items the day of the event. We will greatly appreciate your consideration and if you have any additional questions or need any information from us, please let me know!
