Promise Hill Project warmly invites the community to its 3rd annual fundraising event, Party with a Purpose, on Saturday, December 6, from 6 PM to 11 PM at the Le Meridien Hotel in Dallas, Texas. This special evening aims to raise essential funds to support their mission of providing basic needs to struggling communities, with an expected attendance of 50 guests. Because seating is limited there are other ways to contribute to the fundraising efforts. Donors are welcome to sponsor items or experiences to the silent auction and raffle prizes, or contribute directly by making a donation through the Promise Hill Project website.

The event will begin with a cocktail hour from 6 PM to 7 PM, offering guests drinks and an opportunity to bid on items in the silent auction. The evening’s engaging program features raffles, Promise Hill Trivia, and a silent auction promotion running from 7:15 PM to 10 PM. The night will conclude at 11 PM, leaving attendees with a sense of community and fulfillment for contributing to a vital cause.

“Promise Hill distributes basic needs to struggling and impoverished communities. For those receiving help, a simple act of kindness can mean everything. A warm meal, a clean hygiene kit, or a conversation filled with empathy. We believe small gestures have a ripple effect, bringing care and consistency to communities where instability is constant, and it’s all done without expectation of recognition or reward,” stated Lisa Arbogast, Founder and Executive Director of Promise Hill Project.

As their only in-person fundraiser for the year, Party with a Purpose plays a critical role in sustaining Promise Hill Project, a volunteer-based nonprofit. Every dollar raised goes directly into their mission, impacting lives and fostering hope in the communities they serve. Supported by compassionate individuals, Promise Hill can continue to provide essential items and emotional support to those in need.

The Professional Alliance for Child Centered Safety (PACCS) will host an online event featuring Janette Hermann, MSocSc, presenting her research on handling false sexual abuse allegations in custody cases. The session, titled "Judicial Decision-Making in False Sexual Abuse Allegations: Placing the Child at the Centre of Justice," examines critical challenges and offers recommendations for child-centered justice.

A Groundbreaking Exploration of Child-Centered Justice
Hermann’s study, based on interviews with South African magistrates, explores how courts can remain child-centered despite biases, trauma and complex evidence. Key themes include judicial bias, conflicting expert evidence, trauma-informed procedures and strategies to restore the child’s voice in legal processes.

“Forensic social work plays a vital role in this process: bridging the gap between psychological truth and legal evidence, ensuring that every voice, especially that of the child, is both heard and protected,” said Janette Hermann, MSocSc, Criminal Justice Social Work. “The findings from this research serve as a reminder that justice is not only about outcomes but about the processes through which those outcomes are reached. By adopting a trauma-informed, evidence-based and collaborative approach, we can create systems that protect children, support families and uphold the integrity of the justice process.”

About the Presenter
Janette Hermann is a registered Social Worker and Forensic Practitioner at the Trauma-Informed and Child-Centred Private Practice, as well as at the Teddy Bear Foundation and National Centre for Child Protection in South Africa. Her extensive expertise includes forensic child abuse assessments and trauma-informed interventions. Hermann’s academic research at the University of Cape Town focused on judicial decision-making in false sexual abuse allegations, offering vital insights into safeguarding children's rights.

Following the devastating July 4th flooding in the Texas Hill Country, the Comfort Area Foundation (CAF) announced they have mobilized critical resources to the community in the form of financial funding raised through grants and fundraising activities. Distribution of funding is the first step in the ongoing recovery of small businesses in the areas devastated by the July flooding.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and two grants awarded by the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, more than $442,000 was raised and deployed directly into the community. These Funds provided assistance to 93 local businesses, 78 property owners and families most impacted by the flooding.

“The response from our community and our partners demonstrates the strength and resilience of the Greater Comfort Region,” said Chris Havens, President at the Comfort Area Foundation. “These funds represent more than financial assistance for residents of Center Point, Comfort, Waring, and Sisterdale, they represent hope, stability and the commitment we share to stand together during times of crisis.”

Now that the rebuilding efforts are in full swing, CAF invites visitors to return to the region to help support local businesses, restaurants and nonprofits that continue to drive recovery and revitalization of the affected community. Support through tourism will be the next step in the process of helping to rebuild communities.

“Support small businesses and local nonprofits that continue to support the Hill Country Region. Without the traditional summer tourism in the region, the long-term recovery includes a significant need for weekend tourism and local shopping to return to the Greater Comfort region," Havens said when asked how people can best support the region through the next phase of recovery.

As communities across the affected areas reopen, supporting Texas Hill Country tourism and local commerce remains vital to ensuring the region continues to thrive for generations to come. Every visit, purchase and engagement with local businesses and nonprofits directly contributes to the resilience and sustainability of the Texas Hill Country.

Those interested in helping are encouraged to learn more and support ongoing recovery efforts by visiting ComfortFloodRelief.com.

Additionally, Rebuild Kerr has released vital public data which is available through their Central Texas Flood Needs Assessment for those interested in what is needed within the affected communities.

Looking ahead to the future, visitors and residents are invited to explore the Comfort Vision 2050 document, which captures the collective voice and priorities of the Hill Country community prior to 2019. The plan highlights key areas such as flood mitigation, TXDOT safety planning, and continued economic diversification.
