Benefit for the Turning Point Shelter for Domestic Violence August 18, 2007

33 1/3 a classic Rock Cover Band will be performing at 12:30.
For 26 years, Turning Point has served victims of domestic violence in McHenry County, providing crisis intervention, counseling, legal and non-legal advocacy, emergency shelter, police trainings, a food pantry and bi-lingual and bi-cultural services to the women, children and men of the county. On August 17 & 18th, radio station Star 105.5 will be sponsoring their second annual Radiothon for Turning Point, taking 36 hours to urge McHenry County to “Take a Stand for Turning Point.” Gary and Paula will be broadcasting from the Sam’s Club parking in Crystal Lake playing their usual mix of the “Best variety from the 80’s, 90’s and Beyond” and urging people to phone in a pledge or come down to Sam’s where we’ll be on site with events and entertainment around the clock. Last year, this event raised $80,000 and brought hundreds of donors together to “Take a Stand” despite inclement weather. This event was instrumental in opening the Turning Point Shelter, where today, 21 women & children are living in safety while they rebuild their lives.
Everybody should come on down to Sam's Club in Crystal Lake for a great time! Music, food, fun & games- something for everyone. Check our Blog for updates and schedules and events all summer long. Listen to Star 105.5 for news and updates.
