The Children's Home Presenting "FACES 2017" Oct. 27 at M&T Bank Stadium

The Children’s Home, a 501 (c) 3 organization committed to fostering statewide crisis intervention services for youths ages 13 to 21, is moving its signature fundraiser to a new location.

FACES 2017 will take place Friday, Oct. 27, from 6 to 10 p.m., at M&T Bank Stadium South East Club Level Lounge (1101 Russell St., Baltimore, MD 21230).

With the theme, Glitz & Gloss, this chic evening will feature a dinner buffet with beer, wine and specialty cocktails; dancing to live music by SoulCentered, raffle drawings; an interactive art activity; airbrush tattoo and body-painting from Airbrush Unlimited Group, and a photo-booth from Fun Fotos MD.

The highlight is the silent and live auction featuring photography, paintings, trinkets and other handmade gifts created by the at-risk children and youth living at The Children’s Home, along with other special items.

As part of a mentorship with Kimberly Hopkins (owner/creative, khopdesign LLC) and her husband, Michael Hopkins, FACES annually showcases the residents’ courage for positive change, along with their innate artistic talent.

ABC2 News Anchor Jamie Costello will serve as the emcee. Event co-chairs are Regina Cohen (a volunteer at The Children’s Home who is affectionately regarded by the residents as, “The Candy Lady,”) and Tammara Madison (The Children’s Home volunteer).

FACES 2017 is intended to raise over $50,000 to sustain quality programs and services for at-risk children, youth and their families. Individual tickets are $100 per person in advance and $125 per person at the door. Tables of 10 are $900.
