You don't have to be somewhere over the rainbow to find a magical night of fun. On Friday, March 27, 2009, bring your friends and follow the Yellow Brick Road to Hackensack Golf Club in Oradell, NJ for Children's Aid and Family Services' Sixth Annual Gala, "There's No Place Like Home."

"The agency gala has become one of the most popular and eagerly anticipated events of the spring season, attracting more people each year," says Madinah Grier, director of development & communications. "We expect 'There's No Place Like Home' to be the best one yet, with an abundance of exciting items in the silent and live auctions, including stays at beautiful vacation homes and an exquisite emerald and diamond ring designed by Arthur Groom & Co. of Ridgewood, as well as delicious food, a DJ and raffle. More important, you'll be directly benefiting the vulnerable children and teenagers in the agency's care by attending the gala and participating in the auctions."

This year's sponsors include Helen's Hope Foundation, Irwin Franchise Capital Corporation, Applebee's, BD, Boiling Springs Savings Bank, Hudson City Savings Bank, Brenda & Frank Gallagher, Mutual of America, TD Bank, Toys"R"Us, Inc., Wyeth, Town News and Ellen & Michael Jacobs.
