Hearts in Harmony Gala
Over 600 guests attended the 23rd annual gala to support the ongoing work of the Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas. CEO Marian Sokol welcomed attendees and the Rev. Dr. Michael K. Marsh gave the invocation, followed by the update and introduction of the Uvalde team and their success. The Uvalde Center is open and serving children in the community struggling to cope with residual trauma and grief. The CBC helps children, adolescents, and their caregivers understand the depth of their grief, stabilize and preserve family relationships, and develop healthy coping skills after the death of a loved one.
The Children’s Bereavement Center has been mending broken hearts in South Texas since 1997, showing grieving children and families that there can be love, hope, and laughter in their lives—even after suffering unimaginable loss.
An eye-raising auction item, Cappy’s chocolate cake secret recipe, sold for $530! This ensured this year’s successful gala raised a record-breaking $585,000. For further information or to donate, visit CBCST.org.
