Once again, the MFSC will be holding a silent auction at the 28th Annual Fall Conference.

Silent Auction History

Since 2004, the Michigan Family Support Council conducted successful and very rewarding silent auction events at its Annual Fall Training Conference in Boyne Highlands. MFSC partnered with Camp Highfields, Whaley Childrens' Center and the Penrickton Center for Blind Children over the years to raise funds in support of Michigan families.

• Penrickton Center is a private, non-profit five day residential and day care agency serving blind, multi-disabled children ages 1-12. Because no fees are ever charged to families, all financial support is raised from individuals, service clubs, corporations, and foundations.
• Camp Highfields is a non-profit organization providing opportunities to children, youth, families and other individuals to become more responsible for their own lives and to strengthen their relationships with others.
• Whaley Children’s Center is a private agency that has a tradition of caring for children and families in crisis. They provide a continuum of services to meet the social, emotional, ethical and academic needs of children and families.
