TWILIGHT: Breaking Dawn Event

On November 17, 2011 Angels Foster Care hosted an advance screening event for the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn film. Proceeds benefited our program and funds will go towards salaries for our social workers, new foster parent recruitment, outreach, and other administrative costs. Fundraising is a crucial component of our program as we do not take any federal funding. All of our operating costs are raised through donations (big and small- everything counts!) and grant writing.

The Twilight fans were eager and ready, lining up outside the Arlington Theater hours before the doors were open.


VIP events began at 6:30, with guests being welcomed into a wedding themed reception. There they were able to enjoy yummy drinks and treats and even take a photo with the groom to be- Edward! (Not the real  Edward of course, but his cardboard cut out was just as handsome).

Many thanks to our Fundraising Committee who put a lot of hard work into making this event happen, and setting up a fabulous reception.

This furry friend even made a special "guest" appearance!

The event brought a great turn out and was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came out to support Angels Foster Care- we look forward to seeing you again in 2012 for the FINAL film of the Twilight  Saga.
