New Country Audi Reaches Out to Support the Child Guidance Center of Southern CT
May 16, 2013
New County Audi of Greenwich understands that our customers are more than just drivers: they are members of a community with families and friends who face various challenges and obstacles in their lives. The dealership itself is a part of that community, and that is why we are so pleased to announce our support for the critical services provided by the Child Guidance Center (CGC) of Southern Connecticut, a non-profit agency renowned for exemplary professional mental health service to children, adolescents and families in lower Fairfield County for nearly 60 years. Every week it seems a story appears in a local paper or on the evening news about a teenager who takes his or her own life, erasing all future promise and leaving a permanent hole in the hearts of loved ones. All too often we read about widespread sex abuse and neglect of children, knowing the permanent damage likely done to the victims and wondering sadly about how alone and lost they must feel. At New County Audi, we became determined to be part of the solution, because these stories don’t have to end tragically. That’s why we have partnered with the Child Guidance Center.
Every year CGC provides professional mental health services that help more than 2,000 children and adolescents and their families. In the highest risk situations they are truly saving lives, and for so many others, children who are troubled or getting into trouble, they are providing services that restore a healthy development and make the future far brighter. We have heard so many heartwarming stories about the untold thousands of lives CGC’s expert clinical staff has touched through the years, and we saw a wonderful opportunity to get involved and make a tangible difference in our community through the organization’s annual gala held on Saturday, April 27 at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich. On event night, guests were treated to delicious catered food, dancing, a silent and live auction, and touching speeches about the organization’s ongoing work. It was a night to relax and talk with friends, but also to reflect upon all the good the organization and its many supporters have done over the past year. For this year’s super-hero themed event, “Come Play!…Save the Day,” New County Audi of Greenwich donated a weekend with a luxurious A8.
New County Audi is proud of our partnership with CGC, because we believe there can be no better investment than in the future prospects of our children and the safety and health of our community.
