From 6:00PM to 8:00PM

SOUTH BEND, IN – Family and Children’s Center is bringing New York Times bestseller author and motivational speaker Dave Pelzer to the Century Center on Thursday, April 21, 2022, from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM. This event will include a book signing and the opportunity to purchase his books. Dave is the author of eight inspirational books. Dave's first book, A Child Called "It", has been on the New York Times Best Sellers List for over 6 years. Dave has experienced a truly extraordinary life. At age 12 Dave was rescued and placed in a series of foster homes until he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at age 18. Even with all that was against him, Dave was determined to better himself - no matter what the odds. Some of Dave's distinctive accomplishments have been recognized through several prestigious awards, as well as personal commendations from Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush. Dave is a living testament of a self-made man, who as an optimist strongly exudes resilience, service to mankind, personal responsibility, and faith in humanity. Dave's unique and intriguing outlook on life, coupled with his "Robin Williams" like wit and sense of humor entertain and encourage all of us to truly commit to overcome any challenge, while living life to its fullest. The event will be open to the public. Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased at WWW.FCCIN.ORG Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, this event is recommended for ages 12 and up.
