The Brook Wellness Center announces annual banquet

The Brook Wellness Center invites the community to their Seventh Annual Fundraiser Banquet, to be held Thursday evening, August 27, 2026, starting at 5 p.m. at Church 3:16 in Forsyth. With the theme, “Play Is A Child’s Language,” this year’s banquet will focus on advocating for children, providing healing and creating hope for the future for area children and youth in need. 

The event supports the vision and mission of The Brook Wellness Center to provide a safe, nurturing and supportive environment where children can thrive, through the Child and Youth Haven. Toward that end, the price of admission for the evening’s festivities is a brand-new toy. 

Sponsorship opportunities are also available at several levels: 

• Event sponsorship: $750 

• Table of 8: $350 

• Table of 6: $275 

Table sponsors will have their business or name proudly displayed on the table; and event sponsors will also receive recognition on The Brook website and social media, as well as special mention during the banquet program. 

Sponsorship directly supports the work of The Brook Wellness Center in helping individuals and families recover from addictions, mental-health crises and other life-controlling issues, and particularly in preparing to open the Child and Youth Haven, offering care and stability for area children and youth. Compassion, collaboration and community support are helping The Brook move this vision closer to reality. 

The Brook staff and volunteers would be honored to have you join us for this special evening of generosity, purpose and community. A highlight of the annual event is hearing the stories of people whose lives have been changed through the counseling, fellowships and resource referrals they have received at The Brook Wellness Center. Registration is requested for planning purposes; see QR codes to register as an attendee or sponsor.

Together, we can help build hope and futures for our area children!
