Youth Services Bureau (YSB) of Monroe County and Building a Thriving Compassionate Community (BTCC) are excited to announce registration is open for the 2nd Monroe County Childhood Conditions (MC3) Summit. Registration will remain open through November 28 or when capacity is reached.

Children are shaped by the relationships they have, the neighborhoods they live in, the places they learn and play, and the community organizations that serve them. The second MC3 Summit will continue exploring conditions by focusing on child and adolescent health. Workshop topics for the Summit include: the school to prison pipeline, adverse childhood experiences, creating a culture of care, advocacy, LGBTQ+ cultural competency, and more.

The IU Soul Revue presents its annual Soulful Holiday Concert – a free, community celebration of your favorite holiday tunes and more! Renowned for wowing audiences with its range of black popular music styles, the IU Soul Revue will get you in the holiday spirit. Admission is free with the donation of at least one canned good for Community Kitchen of Monroe County.

This benefit concert serves as a fundraising event in honor of Evelyn A. Nam to benefit the kids at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health, Indiana’s only comprehensive children’s research hospital.

My wife (Melissa Nam) and I (Jason Nam) are hosting this event in honor of our beloved daughter, Evelyn Amanda Nam, who passed away in the early morning hours of 8/16/16 in the Riley NICU following her premature birth and helicopter transport from IU Health Bloomington. Evelyn is loved beyond measure by her parents and by all whose lives she has touched.

All proceeds from this event directly benefit Riley Hospital. The level and quality of loving care that families receive in the most difficult hours of their lives cannot be overstated. Simply put, the doctors, nurses, and staff of the Riley Hospital for Children are incredible people that do such difficult but important work.
