BHcare's Parent Child Resource Center to hold fundraiser in Oxford
OXFORD - BHcare’s Parent Child Resource Center will kick off its annual fundraiser, A Chance to Shine, July 31 with a virtual bike ride. The fundraiser will conclude Aug. 14 with a 10 a.m. walk and all-day celebration at Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road.
Now, more than ever, we need to make an impact on the children and families served by the Parent Child Resource Center.
COVID-19 stay-at-home orders resulted in more isolation and increased stress on children who struggle with mental health and behavioral issues. The number of school-aged children showing up at emergency rooms is increasing rapidly. Children are presenting with severe anxiety, isolation, out of control behaviors, cutting and self-harm, some are even suicidal.
Funds raised at this year’s event will help provide critical treatment and support for children and families in our community.
“Last year, we restructured our ride and walk to a virtual event. Thanks to our amazing community, we raised over $100,000 for the Parent Child Resource Center. This year, we're combining the best of both worlds and holding a virtual bike ride with an in-person walk, music, car show and more at Quarry Walk,” said Danielle DeLong, Development Coordinator, Parent Child Resource Center.
Participants in the virtual bike ride can choose from one of our four scenic bike routes throughout the Valley, or create and complete their own route between July 31 through Aug. 13.
On Aug. 14, the 10 a.m. in-person walk will raise awareness and funds to support mental health services for children and their families.
The walk will be followed by a day of celebration that will feature WPLR's Chaz and AJ’s Classic Car Show, live music, touch-a-truck, raffles, games and more! Bring your own blankets and snacks or grab a bite at one of the several eateries on site.
Register for the virtual bike ride or walk today at AChancetoShineCT.org.
Sponsors include Haynes Group, Haynes Construction, USI Insurance Services, Peralta Designs, The Bassett Family Fund, William Bassett, and Rose and Kiernan Insurance.
The Parent Child Resource Center is a program of BHcare that provides hope and help for children, adolescents, teens and families struggling with emotional and behavioral issues.
