Children First Foundation will hold the Jere Beasley Evening for Children today at the Renaissance
Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention Center.

The event, which includes a 7 p.m. dinner, had only a few tickets remaining, according to Christy
Mehaffey, the foundation's executive director. Tickets, if available, cost $350.

The foundation will use the funds raised to advocate for children in the Legislature.

"We sincerely appreciate the generosity of Mr. Beasley and his firm as they have helped us raise
these funds," Mehaffey said. "Without people like him and other generous donors, our work would not
be possible."
