The event was also a kickoff to a fundraising effort to build a new 100-bed facility for women and children in crisis in Erie.

'The Erie City Mission services hundreds and possibly thousands of people throughout the year, but most of them are men, so one of Brian Johansson's initiatives when he became CEO was to open a house for women, specifically women and children that are suffering from poverty or addiction,' said James Washburn, co-chair.
