 A new fundraiser for the Brainard Child Safety Center has raised more than $30,000 dollars. The Alex and Brandon Child Safety Center gives children and their family members a safe and neutral environment to play, cook and have fun for those who need supervised visitation. The group hosted a fundraiser on May 3rd in honor of the month of May being supervised visitation awareness month. The first ever child safety center community fundraising challenge was a huge success not only in raising funds but also a celebration and a thanks to the community. It's just incredible to me I mean like I said we we couldn't do it without them and it's very important and vital for this place to survive and the doors to stay open and and just having them there I mean it's overwhelming the support that we have because a lot of communities don't have the support that Brainard does. The Child Safety Center fundraising challenge will continue to be an annual event each May.
