Blue Ties & Butterflies celebrates 10 years

Child Protection Center celebrated 10 years of its Blue Ties and Butterflies fundraiser with an elegant evening at Michael's On East on March 29. 

Hundreds met at Michael's On East clad in all variations of dazzling blue — not to mention a few with inspired butterfly designs — for the annual affair benefiting the CPC's programs  for child abuse victims.

Board chair Tina Granthon joined co-chairwomen Jen Douglas and Margie Socol in welcoming the audience before Executive Director Douglas Staley spoke to the audience as well. 

Guests enjoyed dinner before hearing from keynote speaker Jenni Silver. 

Michael Klauber led the auction to end the program.
