2019 New Beginnings Gala

Join Us on November 14, 2019 @ 6:30pm

Family Promise and Sondra’s Song are hosting a large fundraising event in November. Our “New Beginnings” event will be held at the Overton Hotel on November 14 starting at 6:30 p.m. 2322 Mac Davis Ln, Lubbock, TX 7940

Homelessness among children and families is exploding in Lubbock. LISD reports that 634 children enrolled in school identifies as homeless.  In addition, 1200 young people in Texas ages 18-24 are left homeless when they age out of the foster care system. 

Family Promise of Lubbock not only ends homelessness and increases income for the families we serve but ensures they do not become homeless again. The need is great and growing every year for a place for families to stay together to work through their homelessness experience. Family Promise has nearly a 100% success rate in ending homelessness for families under our guidance.

Sondra’s Song provides youth being exited from foster care with a supportive pathway to higher education and meaningful careers and gives hope to young people who may have felt there was none. The goal of the program is to provide training, support and guidance to youth graduating from foster care that will enhance their ability to transition into independent living. 

Our “New Beginnings” event is expected to draw over 300 supporters. Participating businesses will be prominently featured on social media and our event program.

Thank you for your consideration of our request to help end homelessness for children and youth in Lubbock.
