Bags and Baubles event to benefit MCJCCAB

The Mahoning County Juvenile Court Community Advisory Board is hosting a Bags and Baubles fundraising event on May 9 from 6-10 p.m. at Avion on the Water in Boardman. Sponsored by Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Hospital, this fundraiser will contribute to the mission of the MCJCCAB by raffling off designer handbags and baubles and baskets. Baubles and baskets will grace the secondary raffle with a selection of jewelry, wallets and other fun accessories.

The Advisory Board will also draw for the special Louis Vuitton raffle sponsored by Harrington, Hoppe and Mitchell and featuring a Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote that evening.

This fundraising event will help the MCJCCAB to continue its mission to support the Mahoning County Juvenile Court by planning, coordinating and sponsoring various events and activities that provide support and educational opportunities for at-risk youth and families, both within the court system and within the larger community of the Mahoning Valley.

Funds raised by the Advisory Board go to support an annual poster contest for area schools, outreach at the Canfield Fair and other community events, an Incentives for Youth program that helps students to purchase tickets or clothing to attend programming and events, a sports program at the Eugenia Atkinson Recreation Center, the annual Christmas Tree Project, multidisciplinary development seminars for area professionals who work with, and address the needs of, at-risk and justice-involved youth and families, and free community summits, open to the public, that address topics related to the current opioid crisis.
