(Dillsboro, Ind.) - ​Plans are underway for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southeastern Indiana’s annual ​Mardi​ Gras fundraiser, set for ​Feb. 29​ at the Lawrenceburg Event Center. CalComm Indiana, owned and operated by Lawrenceburg resident Celeste Calvitto, has donated $10,000 to again become the event sponsor.

“CalComm’s sponsorship helps make Mardi Gras a reality. It’s our biggest event of the year and a fan-favorite with live music, great food, and more than 600 attendees,” said Stephanie Back, Executive Director of CACSEI. “Their sponsorship means every additional dollar we raise can go to critical services for child victims of abuse, neglect, assault, and maltreatment.” For every $1,000 donated, five children can receive CAC care and support. This includes a forensic interview, family advocacy, medical evaluations, and mental health counseling referrals. 

“CalComm is a great partner and an even greater partner for children and families in crisis,” said CACSEI Victim Advocate Cindi Wagner. “But there are still nearly half a dozen event sponsorships available and you have time to get yours now.” Remaining sponsorships include: 

  • Band Sponsor
  • Program Sponsor
  • Bead Sponsor
  • Mask Sponsor
  • King Cake Sponsor
  • Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Diamond Sponsorships
  • A First Responders sponsorship for $700 covering the cost of 10 police, fire, or emergency department staff to attend Mardi Gras.
