Network Texas Ready to Party With a Purpose Family Fun Event to Benefit Shield Bearer Counseling Centers

If you are looking for a great night out as a family with live music, fun family games and a chance to win prizes, check out this year’s Party With Purpose event. “We are planning to have a great time raising money for a great cause”, says David Bamberg, Network Texas Co-Founder. The 2014 Party With Purpose event is scheduled September 4th from 6:00 PM - 9:30 PM at historic Tin Hall (14800 Tin Hall Rd., Cypress, TX 77410). Tickets are on sale for $20 each online at www.ShieldBearer.org/Party and include heavy hors d'oeuvres, live entertainment provided by Cool Freddie E & The Crew, door prizes, raffle and live auctions, family photo booth and lots of games for cowboys and cowgirls of all ages. A cash bar will be provided by Tin Hall. The purpose of the event is to support the services to women rescued from human trafficking, victims of horrendous crimes, military personnel/veterans and their families and those who are turned away from other providers. “We rely heavily on the donations of individuals, businesses and churches in order to continue to provide quality counseling services,” said Paula Burns, Event Chair. “I’m looking forward to everyone having fun while making a difference for their neighbors and community.” Paula Burns shared that the event is only possible with the support of key sponsors, including, “Halford Busby Construction Consultants as our Trail Boss Sponsor, Insurance One of The Woodlands as our Chuck Wagon Sponsor, and Burke Carpet Cleaning Services as our Watering Hole Sponsor.” There is still time to join in the western themed fun and become a sponsor or provide an auction item or door prize. Interested parties can find all the details at www. ShieldBearer.org/Party. Shield Bearer, a Cy Fair born 501c3 charitable nonprofit since 2005, served over 12,800 people last year with professional counseling services in their four Northwest and West Houston offices. Learn more about Shield Bearer at www.ShieldBearer.org or call 281-894-7222.
