Children's Services of the Northeast Guidance Center Assistance League is privileged to be one of 12 children's charities* to benefit from the Detroit Auto Dealers Association North American International Auto Show Charity Preview on Friday, January 16, 2009, at the Cobo Conference/Exhibition Center in Detroit. This is the 33rd anniversary of the Charity Preview.

Invitations for this elegant evening, which raises more than $6 million annually, were mailed in early October 2008. Those who do not receive invitations but would like to purchase tickets may call the DADA Hotline at (888) 838-7500.

Approximately 94% of your $400 ticket donation goes directly to the charity of your choice. That is why we ask that you check off Children's Services of the Northeast Guidance Center Assistance League!

Over the past year, these funds provided staffing, supplies, equipment and programming for Children's Services. The program serves 2,500 children diagnosed with Severe Emotional Disorders. These dollars enabled the NEGC to expand its Children's Outpatient Services facilities at Detroit's Samaritan Center. That new facility answered the needs of 500 children in its first six months of operation. In addition, they supported the I Like Me! self-esteem program, which reached out to more than 1,500 school children in Detroit, the Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods. The remainder was devoted to programs that enhance current and future fundraising projects.
