IHELP 6th Anniversary Banquet Success
Activating Faith
Cultivating Hope
Radiating Love
The IHELP 6th Anniversary Banquet did much to achieve the three goals above. This event was very successful raising $12,621 and 240 in attendance. The room was abuzz with 18 Faith Communities represented, as well as many other organizations. If you missed this event, plan to attend next years event as plans will soon be in the works to make it even more enjoyable and successful.
The evening was very informative and inspiring thanks to our great guest speakers and videos that told the IHELP story. A delicious Chicken Marsala dinner donated by John Holmes from Carrabba's Italian Grill in Chandler along with cupcakes for dessert by Honeymoon Sweets. Thanks to Sandra Chelsy we had over 35 unique Silent Auction Items.
MANY THANKS TO ALL OUR PARTNERS FOR MAKING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE!
