Dear Community Friend:

The Guild of Family Service of Greensboro is very pleased to announce its Seventh Annual

Big Hair Ball, an evening of BIG HAIR, edgy fashions, food and drink!

The theme of this year’s event is Aqua … The Muses of the Sea. It will take place Saturday,

January 26, 2019 at UNCG’s Kaplan Center in Greensboro. Our Honorary Chair is Vanessa

Carroll.

This unique fundraiser includes a cocktail reception followed by a runway fashion show

featuring outsize hairdos and outré outfits created by local designers. Each model’s outfit is

inspired by her sponsor – corporate or individual – as well as by the event theme.

The Big Hair Ball supports local programs of Family Service of the Piedmont, the largest private

nonprofit agency of its kind in Guilford County serving thousands of children and adults each

year. Family Service addresses vital issues of domestic violence, child abuse, mental health, and

financial stability. You can learn more about Family Service at www.safeandhealthyfamilies.com

and about our Guild at www.gfsgso.com.

We hope you will consider being a Sponsor of the BIG HAIR Ball to help fund programs of

Family Service in Greensboro. Sponsors will be listed on the event program and on the

invitation. There will be a slideshow of sponsors during the event, which more than 1,000

people are expected to attend. Top sponsors receive VIP seating, and are invited to attend a

pre-event designer’s cocktail party and/or private dinner party hosted by Vanessa and Roy

Carroll. Additionally, all sponsors will be recognized in Family Service’s newsletter, mailed to

5,000 individuals, businesses and organizations throughout Guilford County, and on the Guild

and Family Service websites.

PLEASE NOTE: Model Sponsorships are SOLD OUT. No new models may be added at this time.

Please find enclosed detailed information about this sponsorship opportunity. Please feel free

to contact us with any questions.

Last year’s Big Hair Ball was a sold out success, raising over $219,000 to support programs of

Family Service in our community. With your help, we hope to have even greater success in

2019! Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Donna Perkins President The Guild of Family Service of Greensboro Founda@on, Inc.

Last year, we directly served 17,044 local children and adults, addressing issues of:

Domestic Violence Child Abuse

Shelters •••• Counseling •••• 24-Hour Crisis Line

DVIP •••• Victim Advocacy •••• Support Groups

Clara House in Greensboro and Carpenter House in High Point

offer safety to women and children escaping violent homes.

Women receive help filing protective orders and navigating the

court system, individual and group counseling, and referrals to

resources to help them start a new life free from violence.

• Last year, we served 4,726 victims of domestic

violence, rape, and other violent crimes.

• Our 24-Hour Crisis Line received 2,634 calls, averaging

more than one call every 3.3 hours.

• Our Domestic Violence Shelters housed an average

of 28 women and children each night. 87% of those

who stayed for ten days or more went home to a safe,

non-violent living environment.

• 93% of male batterers who completed the Domestic

Violence Intervention Program were not re-arrested

for assault on a female after one year.

Children’s Advocacy Centers •••• Healthy Start

Family Preservation •••• Family Resource Center

The Greensboro CAC (Children’s Advocacy Center) and Hope House (High Point’s CAC) coordinate forensic examination,

counseling and treatment of child sexual and physical abuse. Healthy Start prevents child abuse and neglect by providing

in-home counseling and parenting education to pregnant

women and new parents with high risk factors.

• Last year our CAC’s served 411 families, conducting 373 forensic interviews. That’s more than one case each day of potential child abuse investigated at the centers.

• Healthy Start served 458 children in 343 families with high risk factors. 99% of those families did not experience DSS reports of abuse or neglect.

• Family Preservation services were provided for 91 at-risk families including 227 children. 12 months after completing the program, 97% of families were able to

Mental Health Financial Stability

Peer Support Groups •••• Substance Abuse Services

Counseling for children, adolescents, and adults with issues

such as depression, anxiety, physical or sexual abuse,

substance abuse, grief or trauma. Walk-in counseling clinics

allow clients to begin seeing a therapist the same day. An

integrated care model addresses clients’ general healthcare as

well as mental health needs. Employee Assistance Program

provides mental healthcare for employees of local companies.

• Last year our team health professionals provided more

than 11,646 counseling sessions and 1,247 medical

visits for 4,376 children and adults.

• 736 of these were clients receiving same-day walk-in assessments for mental health counseling at Family

Service’s offices without an appointment.

• Services are offered on a sliding fee scale, with cost to

the client as low as $0 depending on income level.

• 62% of counseling clients displayed significantly improved functioning over the course of treatment.

Bankruptcy Counseling •••• Debt Management

Budgeting and Homeownership Workshops

Nationally accredited CCCS (Consumer Credit Counseling Service)

offers money management, budget review and an action plan to

resolve financial problems, pre- and post-purchase

homeownership counseling, and reverse mortgage counseling.

Mortgage Payment Program helps out of work homeowners

qualify for interest free loans to maintain their mortgage.

• CCCS provided 2,802 one-on-one counseling sessions

last year, and educated an additional 1,354 people

through free workshops and community events.

• After counseling, 98% of families reported the ability

to pay their bills on time, 82% reported their debt load

Economic Impact of Family Service of the Piedmont

Investing in Our Community’s Future

For every $1 invested in the Domestic Violence Shelters, the community

saves at least $4.60 in health care and other costs of domestic violence.

$1 spent on the Domestic Violence Intervention Program saves up to $20

in inmate, court, probation and law enforcement costs.

$1 spent on Family Preservation programs saves the community $6.79 in

future out-of-home placement costs.

$1 spent on Healthy Start yields up to $5.70 in reduced mental health costs,

criminal justice costs, reduced dependence on welfare, and increased

employment.

$1 spent on Outpatient Mental Health services saves the community $6 in

emergency room and in-patient costs.

$1 invested in Substance Abuse treatment yields a return of $12 in reduced

drug-related crime, criminal justice costs, theft and health care costs.

Every foreclosure leads to a 1% drop in the value of surrounding

homes. Since 2010, Consumer Credit Counseling Service has helped save

more than 3,800 local homes from foreclosure, helping preserve the equity

of at least 18,000 surrounding homes.

90¢ of each $1 donated to Family Service goes directly to fund programs for

children and families. Our agency’s operating costs are at a low 10%.
