About this event
This event is provided by The Northwest Catholic Counseling Center
A passionate group of women invite you to help make sure any woman or child who needs mental health care gets it, no matter what the financial circumstances. Join them at the Circle of Strength Women’s Fundraising
Brunch on October 17 from 10am to noon.
Because of this event, hundreds of lower-income women and children in the
greater Portland and Vancouver, Washington areas will get access to
professional, compassionate counseling and psychiatric medication management at NCC. This is the 14th year for this popular event and the guest speaker is Sheila Hamilton, KINK-FM radio personality, author and Emmy Award winning journalist.
Held at the Riverside Golf and Country Club, the Circle of Strength brings
nearly 250 women together for food, fun, and fundraising. Tickets are $35 and tables of eight are $250. Donations to NCC are tax-deductible. Last year’s event raised more than $85,000.
The Circle of Strength highlights the shortage of professional, affordable
counseling in our area. By sharing the stories of low-income women and
children helped at NCC, the event promotes understanding about the barriers to care created by poverty and the life-changing help provided by accessible mental health services.
