Proceeds from the Charity Preview accomplish a lot!

Northeast Guidance Center would like to thank you for continuing your support, especially in these economic times.

On Friday, January 15, 2010, approximately 8500 guests gathered at Cobo Hall for the 34th Annual North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) Charity Preview. Monies raised at the Charity Preview support 12 metropolitan Detroit children’s charities. The single evening event raised over 2 million dollars of which $52,500 will be directed to Resiliency in Motion (RIM) Therapy Program at Children Services of Northeast Guidance Center (NEGC).

Ernest Moody, a 12 year old Detroit resident, is one of the many children that has  benefited from the RIM Program.  In 2008, Ernest  suffered 3rd degree burns to a large proportion of his body from an accident involving a candle.  Since 2009, Ernest has been receiving therapy from Benita Lemke, Trauma Certified Clinical Social Worker at NEGC, to help him cope with his accident and ongoing medical treatments. The therapy has been  successful to date in helping Ernest adjust to this traumatic experience. With the help and support of his family and NEGC staff, Ernest has maintained his membership on the Honor Roll and remained active in basketball and bowling.  Ernest plans to become an artist and create video games as an adult.
