Mark your calendars: three December tea parties at the historic Norcross House will raise funds for the Carson City Rural Child Advocacy Center, a safe, child-friendly place where children who have experienced trauma and their families receive coordinated, trauma-informed care close to home. The fundraisers will bring the community together over tea and light bites from local purveyors.
Cups of Hope will take place Sunday, Dec. 6, 2 to 3:30 p.m.; Thursday, Dec. 10, 5:30 to 7 p.m.; and Saturday, Dec. 12, 2 to 3:30 p.m. at 412 N. Division St.
Guests will enjoy traditional tea party fare from Carson City vendors, tour the historic Norcross House, and hear from the professionals who serve children and families in northern Nevada.
All proceeds support the Center.
“When a child walks through our doors, a whole team is already there, ready to support them,” said Brie Bertges, executive director of the Carson City Rural Child Advocacy Center. “Cups of Hope invites the community to join that team. Guests will tour the historic Norcross House, meet the dedicated professionals behind this work, and see firsthand where healing begins. Every ticket helps ensure rural families can find this care close to home.”
Tickets start at $120 per seat, with $60 of each single ticket tax-deductible. Each tea is a separate ticketed event, and seating is limited. Tickets and details are available at https://www.ccruralcac.org/tea/. Questions can be directed to Lauren Casto, community organizer, at events@socfoundation.com.
