Party Fund raiser for the KIDS center

Renaissance Homes has made its largest Bend area charitable contribution to date with a $3,000 donation to underwrite the Patrick Lamb CD release party at 7 p.m. April 7 (Saturday) at the Tower Theater. The party is a fund raiser for the KIDS Center which serves approximately 450 Deschutes County children needing evaluation and treatment for sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse and neglect.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and Renaissance President Randy Sebastian, who has five children, ages five through 19, said he felt the KIDS Center was “providing one of the most important services I can imagine. Child abuse is one of society’s saddest and most important problems.”

Besides offering medical evaluations and counseling, the center coordinates the April Blue Ribbon Campaign to draw attention to the problem of child abuse, co-ordinates the Deschutes County multi-disciplinary team and offers consulting and training to other central and eastern Oregon counties.

“We are really pleased to be able to team with Patrick Lamb and the other sponsors to help raise funs for the KIDS Center. We make an effort to support the communities where we build,” said Sebastian, whose Portland-based firm currently is developing the 210-home Renaissance Ridge off Brookswood Drive at Aspen Rim Lane.

Sebastian was recently honored at the Portland Royal Rosarians’ Newsmakers of the Year banquet for his contributions to providing a home free of charge to a former Grant County Sherif who is undergoing painful reconstructive surgery to repair damage from a shotgun blast to the face received in the line of duty.

Lamb, a nationally known jazz musician, said he is breaking new ground with this CD. Revisiting his southern roots, he said he has added sounds from other artists who have influenced him–the funk of James Brown, horn section of Tower of Power, soul of Sly & The Family Stone and his own musical voice. This forms what he calls “the unique, new sound of Patrick Lamb.”
