Dinner/silent auction/live music to benefit orphans and foster care children.

Cadman Foundation is holding a dinner/silent auction Friday, May 2nd (6:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.) to help families adopt some of the world's 143 million chilren.

Proceeds from dinner ticket sales and the silent auction will help adoptive parents offset the cost of their adoption (adoptions can cost as much as $40,000 per child). Proceeds will also help provide resources for foster care education and fun events for children in Michigan's foster care system.

There will also be live music and an exhibit from the Heart Gallery. To purchase your tickets, visit www.cadmanfoundation.org. To donate items and for other inquiries, call Julie Cadman at 248-370-8040.
