20th Annual Garden Party

20th Annual Garden Party

Friday, May 25, 2018

The 20th Annual Garden Party will be held Friday, May 25, 2018, at the Q Center in St. Charles, IL.  We are anticipating over 800 attendees to this fabulous event which includes; a wonderful silent auction, breathtaking showcases, spectacular live auction, full lunch and entertainment. 

The annual Garden Party is Fox Valley Hands of Hope’s largest event fundraiser. Funds raised from the Garden Party go toward providing all of FVHH’s community-based services to help adults, children and families cope with loss at no cost to the community.

For nearly 37 years, Fox Valley Hands of Hope has provided care for those experiencing grief or life-threatening illness, serving thousands of individuals and families – of all ages and from all walks of life. 

In 2017, Fox Valley Hands of Hope:

- Served 1,355 clients – including adults, children and families, with our more than 300 volunteers.

- Delivered grief-support programs in new settings, including Project Hope, now active in 29 schools, enabling more children to receive grief support, and eliminating transportation and scheduling barriers for parents.

- Launched Life After Alzheimer’s (now Life After Caregiving), a support group for those who have concluded their caregiving journey with loved ones.

- Provided bilingual services for our Spanish-speaking clients.

- Operated a free lending closet, providing over 1,000 pieces of medical equipment to the community.

The FVHH staff and board of directors – led by our extraordinary Garden Party committee members – are working to make our 20th Anniversary event unforgettable, with new showcases and auction items, fresh event features, and even VIP hosts!
