Auction to raise funds for child abuse prevention

Children Trust Michigan recently announced that its 22nd Annual Pam Posthumus Signature Auction will be held Tuesday, May 14 to raise critical funds for child abuse awareness and prevention initiatives across the state.

“Child abuse remains a pressing issue affecting countless families in Michigan,” said Suzanne Greenberg, CTM executive director. “The auction serves as a beacon of hope, channeling resources toward vital initiatives that protect our children and create safer communities.”

Supporters, advocates and community members will gather at the Breslin Center on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing to participate in this event. 

With the theme “The Heart of the Matter,” the annual event kicks off at 5 p.m., showcasing a dynamic live auction as well as hundreds of silent auction items. Supporters can bid on travel opportunities, Michigan-made products and other distinctive experiences. 

The silent auction opens Tuesday, May 7, for early bidding.

The auction is in memory of Pam Posthumus, an advocate for preventing child abuse who served as a past board chairperson of Children Trust Michigan and started the first signature auction event. She died Aug. 18, 2010, and the annual auction was renamed the Pam Posthumus Signature Auction Event in 2011.

This year, CTM looks to generate funds for initiatives including family resource centers across Michigan, parent support and education. 

A nonprofit housed within the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), CTM serves as an unwavering voice for Michigan’s children and families.
