About The Dinner

It promises to be an evening filled with laughter, fun, enchantment, and friendship.  The proceeds from the dinner go a long way to help HOPE provide our core services (one-on-one counseling, 12 monthly support groups, and our monthly newsletter) at no cost to the bereaved.  It also helps HOPE to meet our daily operating expenses.

The Evening Includes:

  • A beautiful reception
  • A Silent Auction filled with some many wonderful baskets, many donated in memory of a loved one, memorabilia items and trips.
  • A Live Auction
  • Photo booth
  • Raffles

What We’re Celebrating:

  • It is an opportunity to celebrate the life of our loved ones who have died.
  • It is a celebration of  40 years that HOPE has been helping grieving children & adults in our community and beyond.
  • It is a celebration that grief has softened for thousands of bereaved and they can appreciate life and the people in their life.
