Lunch by the Ladle raised OVER $21,000 this year through Corporate and Individual Sponsorships and Ticket Sales. The event provides Family Life Council with much needed unrestricted funds that can be applied toward areas with the greatest need whether it is fatherhood education through the 24/7 Dad™: Fathers Matter program, divorce education through Parenting Children of Divorce, or teen pregnancy prevention through Wise Guys®. This flexibility is vital to preserving the successful family life education programs we have created and provided to Guilford County since 1968.
