We are excited to invite all in our community to attend our 3rd Annual Masquerade. We've mixed things up a bit and expanded our event so we can have more members of our amazing community attend. This event is going to be the place to be this October. This is CCS's main fundraising event and the proceeds of this event allow us to provide essential and life-saving services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
We'll have an amazing program that will include Cedar City's very own Melinda Pfundstien and many others. We will also be selling original one-of-a-kind art pieces created specifically for this event by some of our very own local artists, and many other amazing silent auction items.
