Due to this experience, Christine and Leigh decided they wanted to make their services available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Brainstorming, they decided the way to do it was to become a non-profit center. WCHC opened in October of 2001, despite the loss of Christine's husband, Michael, during preparations. He had constructed their web site and was doing renovations on their building when he was injured. While coping with his loss, the women continued to prepare and open the center.
 
While clients who can afford to pay the full price for services help to offset the expenses of those who cannot pay full price, the Center still has operating costs and dreams of an additional room for more practitioner space, and a hope for a $23,000 xray room. Since they are a non-profit, everything has to come from public funds; they cannot legally apply for a business loan. So, they are holding a benefit and auction to raise donations for the upkeep of the center.
 
“The Atlanta Follies,” the benefit, will be an evening (7 to 10 p.m.) of entertainment and fun, including stand-up comics, drag queens appearing as Cher and Dolly Parton, an “opera singer who opened for Tony Bennett and sounds like Streisand” and more. There will be plenty of goodies to eat, and a silent auction. “We're going to have a buffet. People can come in and have wine and cheese and food, and then we'll have the show and they can be looking at the [merchandise for the] silent auction then. It's going to be at the Academy of Medicine, and at intermission, they can put their final bids on the silent auction. And the show will finish, and then they can find out who got what,” Christine explained.
 
The Atlanta Follies will be semi-formal in dress, and it will be held at The Atlanta Academy of Medicine on West Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Tickets to the Follies are $50 per person. WCHC is looking for corporate and individual sponsors for donations ranging from $100 to $5,000 or more. Sponsors at different levels receive packages that may contain VIP tickets, recognition on the center's web page, ads in the program, recognition in future advertising for the center, and natural health services available at the center.
 
World Community Healing Center hopes that these non-profit centers will “pop up” all around to help people become healthier and more conscious. For information on The Atlanta Follies or a schedule of classes on everything from shamanic power animals to self-massage techniques, call WCHC at 770.926.9838.
