Not only was this year’s At Home With Hephzibah Gala event our first (and perhaps only) virtual celebration, but it was our most successful fundraising event, generating more than $285,000 plus a generous $200,000 anonymous match to support the critical programming that serves more than 1,400 vulnerable children and families each year.
Funds raised from this year’s event will:
- Help aid the healing and recovery of children like 3-year-old Noah who was born exposed to drugs and endured 18 months of unimaginable abuse and neglect before coming to Hephzibah.
- Support families like the Johnsons who, in the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, are struggling to adequately care for physical and medical needs of their six young children.
- Provide for the ongoing e-learning and educational support that the 26 children residing in Hephzibah Home need as they continue their long, difficult healing journey.
You can still experience the excitement and emotion from the 2021 Heart of Gold Gala by listening to the inspirational message from Executive Director Merry Beth Sheets:
Hephzibah extends our heartfelt gratitude for the support and generosity of more than 30 Heart of Gold sponsors, our award winners, and incredible community of donors, volunteers and supporters who attended and participated to make the event a success.
If you would like to join with them and donate to help us provide for the essential therapeutic, emotional and physical needs of vulnerable children and families, we welcome your support.
