On Friday, June 25th at the Chantilly Ballroom of the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Attorneys Serving the Community (ASC) held their 24th Annual Luncheon; this year’s event benefited YW Nurse-Family Partnership and raised over $140,000!
Allpoints Limousines provided a four hour limousine Christmas Light Tour for the auction hosted at this event. The donation included four hours of light touring in Highland Park and Deerfield. Free sodas, ice, and snacks were provided in the package. Seating included up to eight passengers in a formal stretch limo. The donated service was available any evening, in December, except Christmas Eve.
Dawn Stout was the winning bidder. The tour was held on the 19th of December.
Attorneys Serving the Community
Attorneys Serving the Community (ASC) was
established in 1987 when several Dallas women attorneys pooled their
talents and interests and joined together in the spirit of community
service. Now, ASC is a dynamic volunteer organization with more than
270 members - women lawyers and law students - from the Dallas/Fort
Worth area. ASC has raised more than $2.4 million for local
charities.
With a mission to support local non-profit agencies serving women,
children or families, ASC members raise funds by holding an annual
luncheon. Previous guest speakers at the luncheon have included
Texas Governor Ann Richards, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton, First Lady Barbara Bush, Dr. Joyce Brothers, opera legend
Beverly Sills, environmentalist Erin Brockovich, author Carol
Higgins Clark, Olympians Wilma Rudolph and Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and
"Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts.
Now in its 24th year, ASC owes its success
to the strong commitment of its members and the support of area law
firms, businesses and individuals to its charitable mission.
Nurse-Family Partnership
YW
Nurse-Family Partnership focuses on low-income, first-time mothers –
a vulnerable population segment that often has limited access to
good parenting role models. Young mothers-to-be voluntarily enroll
as early as possible, with nurse home visits beginning ideally by
the 16th week of pregnancy.
Nurse Home Visitors and their clients make a two-and-one-half year
commitment to each other, with 64 planned home visits between
pregnancy and the child’s second birthday.
This intensive level of support is proven to improve outcomes
relating to:
- Preventive health and prenatal practices for the mother – helping
her find appropriate prenatal care,
improving her diet, and reducing her use of cigarettes, alcohol and
illegal substances.
- Health and development education and care for both mother and
child – providing individualized
parent coaching aimed at increasing awareness of specific child
development milestones and
behaviors, and encouraging parents to use praise and other nonviolent
techniques.
- Life coaching for the young mother and her
family – enabling economic self-sufficiency among
mothers by encouraging them to develop a vision for their own futures,
stay in school, find
employment and plan future pregnancies.
