The CLCL Foundation proudly invites you to its first-ever fundraising event—and it’s going to be spectacular.

Introducing the Summer’s End Fair for Hope: a vibrant fusion of Gala elegance and Family Fair joy, all in support of restoring Safe Haven and Emergency Youth Shelter access for juveniles across Ocean, Monmouth, and Atlantic Counties.

Right now, there is no refuge for youth in crisis.

No haven for runaway or homeless young people.
No place for families facing urgent challenges or seeking respite to prevent them.
No access to on-site mental and behavioral health services that are not in-patient or disruptive of education.
No lasting support for families who need it most.

CLCL is changing that.

Our Pilot Programs, currently under review by Dr. Jeff Waid at the University of Minnesota, are paving the way toward an Evidence-Based Approach—one that can be replicated nationwide.

These pilots include:

• The Community Care Connection Line, a warm-line donation referral service
• Monthly Free Family Fun Night events
• And pending programs like the Tree House Emergency Youth Shelter with three pilot extensions, and the Home Share Solutions Program

Join us on Saturday, September 20th, from 4 to 8pm, at Hope in Her Eyes, Allentown, NJ.

??? Tickets are FREE for children 9 and under, with discounted rates for youth 10 to 19 and doubles packages available.

Every ticket includes access to a  BYOB celebration featuring:

• Dancing
• Face painting
• Bounce house fun
• Fresh BBQ and catered dinner

• Cotton candy, slushies, and more
• 25 nonprofit vendors offering extra activities

Additional costs apply only to:

• Extra raffle tickets
• And our exciting 50/50 raffle

This is more than a fair.
It’s a community celebration of hope.

A chance to tell our local youth:
We will restore refuge.
We will create a safe place for you and your family to turn.
We will not stop.

As a former runaway herself, our Founder and Board Chair knows firsthand the power of safe shelter.

Help us make this service accessible to young people across the Jersey Shore.
