Hello to our valued business partners and supporters,
 
As The Guidance Center marks its 67th year of serving children and adults in our community, we are honored to present our compelling sponsorship opportunities for the agency’s special events that help to impact program support for more than 15,000 people in Wayne County.
 
Our popular Summer Glow returns on Friday, June 6, 2025 to the beautiful Detroit River on Grosse Ile hosted by Cindy Czarnik and Heidie Gorno at the Gorno Home. Join Chairs Katie Daly Vitale, Santina Daly Bragadin, and Christina Daly Gruber to raise funds for our three Community Resource Centers and our Nurture the Future Program helping Downriver parents and families to thrive.
 
Next, our meaningful Grape Expectations for Kids Dinner on September 18, 2025 will feature breathtaking views of Lake St. Clair at the spectacular Grosse Pointe War Memorial‘s new ballroom. Join us to support the life-saving work of the Kids-TALK Children’s Advocacy Center.
 
And, finally, our inspiring Champions of Wayne Student Achievement Banquets in February and June 2025 at Wayne Tree Manor support the student mentorship program to honor student success and inspire academic and life goals achievement.
 
Please join us as a sponsor for one or more events to help The Guidance Center fulfill its mission to: Nurture development. Foster resilience. Cultivate well-being.
