The Hyacinth

“We have wanted to host an event for years, and decided we would not wait any longer” is what we heard from Jan Driessnack, owner of The Hyacinth in Peoria. She and her team held a wonderful ‘light dessert’ evening at the Weaver Ridge Country Club that was a tremendous success. The warm, delightful party also featured door prizes and raffle items. What a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season – with the gift of hope!

Redeemer Lutheran Church

WARSAW, INDIANA - Redeemer Lutheran Church wanted to introduce their new pastor and his philosophy of ‘community and humanity’ outreach by hosting an event to benefit women. The Vera Bradley Foundation was a natural fit. The church organized a fun luncheon/auction that benefited both the Foundation and a local caner care fund. This small church showed just how big of an impact they could make! They are truly an inspiration for those who are timid about holding an event for the first time. We are looking forward to working with them again and again!

Skate for Hope

COLUMBUS, OHIO - The stars of the figure skating world came out to support this important cause!
