Cora Lamping Center Host Fundraiser
CLC to raise funds to best serve survivors of Domestic and Sexual Violence
Fundraiser: October 19th from 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM

The Cora Lamping Center (CLC) for Survivors of Domestic and Sexual Violence is hosting a fundraiser to raise awareness of domestic violence and to support the work that CLC provides free of charge. CLC is a division of The Avenue Family Network, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit that works to Empower Advocate and Support families.
CLC depends on grant funding and donors to keep the ‘Safe Shelter’ running smoothly and offer survivors services such as counseling, legal advocacy and safety.
CLC will be hosting a fundraiser on October 19th from 11:30 am-2:00 pm at the Blackbird Waterhouse in Coloma. Award winning author, Angeline Boulley, will speak about her book, ‘The Firekeeper’s Daughter’. Join us for a lovely lunch, receive a book, and have Q&A with the author.
Angeline Boulley’s book was recently picked up by President Barack and Michelle Obama and is being filmed for a Netflix series. This book walks you through the life of a young woman trying to navigate life within her Ojibwe reserves. Good Moring America calls the book, “One of this year’s most buzzed about young adult novels.”
