Did you know in addition to Breast Cancer awareness, October is also Domestic Violence Awareness month as well? Blush Ball is a “Party with a Purpose” and we would like to talk about the purpose for a moment.

A portion of the proceeds from Blush Ball goes to Metro Centers for Community Advocacy. They provide so many vital programs and services to our community.

Metro’s Director, Darlene Santana, outlines how important Blush Ball is to their mission:

---

On behalf of our Board of Directors and Staff, I want to express our deepest appreciation to the Pussyfooters for the generosity and support provided to Metro over the years. The proceeds donated to Metro from Blush Ball have been and are still used today to support free and confidential services provided to our survivors staying in our Emergency Shelter.  Donations from our community, such as Blush Ball, are used to fund the services that are not covered by grant funds. Grants are awarded for very specific purposes.  Therefore, there are many needs that are not covered by grants.  The following are needs that are funded through Blush Ball donations:

• Food (breakfast/lunch/dinner) for Emergency Shelter
• Small kitchen appliances for food preparation for Emergency Shelter (microwave, electric skillet, crock pot, rice cooker, etc…)
• Dishes, utensils for Emergency Shelter
• Formula and Diapers for Emergency Shelter
• Bedding – pillows, sheets, pillow cases, blankets for Emergency Shelter
• Transportation for Emergency Shelter clients – bus ticket if needed to transport clients to another state – local transportation (Uber/bus tokens) to doctor’s appointments, job interview, bring child to school
• Medication/Prescriptions and over the counter medication for clients in Emergency Shelter
• Clothing for clients in Emergency Shelter
• Paper Products – toilet paper, hand towel paper for Emergency Shelter
• Bath towels, face cloths for Emergency Shelter
• Hygiene products (feminine hygiene products, tooth paste, tooth brushes, deodorant, hair care products, bath products, etc…)
• School supplies and school uniforms
  

My accountant and I went back as far as our records would go to get a figure on how much money has been donated to Metro over the years.  Our accountant had records back to 2011.  The figure he has on the total amount of donations from Blush Ball to Metro is $169,170.00.
