You're invited to support & attend the 15th Annual Starfish Benefit as we proudly celebrate the Child and Family Guidance Center's 60th Anniversary; six decades of strengthening the mental health of children and families in Texoma. 

This year's event is headed straight for the winner's circle with festive Kentucky Derby style. In partnership with our Presenting Sponsor, Utter Family of Dealerships, we are once again celebrating at the newly renovated Hilton Garden Inn, perfectly suited for an evening of southern elegance, racing excitement, and community spirit. A winning combination to honor the Child & Family mission and bring our community together. 

Join us for a Derby-inspired evening filled with southern charm, delectable food and desserts, spirits, music, and plenty of FUNraising opportunities as we round the corner toward a brighter future for more than 3,000 children and families in need.
