A Beautiful Night for HOPE
Goal Exceeded, $169,000 Raised!
We are grateful for all who have said 'yes' and taken a seat at Furnish Hope's table of supporters and to all who contributed in countless ways to this year's CHAIRitable Event's success!
It was indeed a night to remember as over 250 Furnish Hope supporters gathered on May 11th at the Seventh Mountain Resort for our second annual Take your Seat: A CHAIRitable Event. Attendees not only accepted our invitation to 'take a seat' at beautifully adorned tables for an evening of delicious food and lively entertainment, but through their collective generosity, helped provide seats at tables for many of our neighbors in need.
Oh, what a night! Long-time Furnish Hope champions, first-time supporters, community members and volunteers joined together for an evening of jovial camaraderie - all in the name of HOPE!
The spirited energy in the room surpassed all expectations. Together, we successfully raised $169,000 - exceeding our goal! Enthusiastic bidding on CHAIRitable designs and enticing live auction packages encouraged guests to ring their bells and raise their paddles in support of hope. It was truly an incredible community endorsement of our Cycle of Hope!
A Dazzling Showcase of CHAIRitable Designs
The artistic display of whimsically redesigned chairs crafted by community supporters was once again a highlight of the evening. Admired by all, these chairs symbolize a vision of hope and a potential for new beginnings - sentiments we share for all of our Furnish Hope recipients. Bidding on the beautiful chairs alone, secured over $2,500 in contributions!
We simply could not have orchestrated such a successful night for HOPE without our incredible team members and volunteers who contributed their time, talent and energy! Many thanks as well to all the local vendors who generously offered their services and products for our auction packages. And finally, a tremendous shout of gratitude for the Baker Auction team, Seventh Mountain Resort, our in-kind donors and event sponsors! We did it - and, what a night it was!
