Kids Hub Denim and Diamonds 2024

One of our favorite annual fall events is a blend of fashion and philanthropy! Each year we are happy to join Kids Hub Child Advocacy Center as they host Denim and Diamonds. This year the soiree was held at The Barn at Bridlewood in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Denim and Diamonds is a glamorous evening fundraising event to support Kids Hub’s effort to ensure all children in our community are heard, supported, and protected. The event was full of fun, consisting of a drawdown, live painting by local artist Calley Carson, music by DJ Don King, and catering by Elements.

If you don't know about the work Kids Hub does in our community... It is the only child advocacy center of the Pinebelt, partnering with law enforcement, child protection agencies, prosecution teams, and victim advocates. Kids Hub aims to prioritize the needs of every child victim of abuse by consolidating all needed services into a single network.

The Denim and Diamonds event is symbolic. It is a metaphor for the services Kids Hub aims to provide to each victim and family they work with. Denim is soft and comfortable, like a hug, and diamonds are the toughest material on earth, formed out of pressure. Each victim is a diamond in the rough that needs the warm embrace of an advocacy organization like Kids Hub.

For the Denim and Diamonds event, guests were encouraged to rock a denim look and accessorize with sparkly diamonds (our favorite attire). We were excited to donate dazzling diamond ring and customizable gold and diamond locket for a fundraising raffle!

The event raised a total of $38,000! We are proud to have been a small part of this special night. All proceeds from Denim and Diamonds are benefiting Kids Hub Child Advocacy Center and their services for the child abuse victims in the Pinebelt.
