Description

We are planning our 11th annual event For Guatemala...An Evening of Hope 2023.

Our festive gala will include speakers, programs and videos; Silent and Live auctions.  We will have special guests from Guatemala, Guatemalan food will be served and music and games will be played.

We are in need of donations of items, experiences, services, etc. for our silent auction. Our silent auction is online and is seen by approximately 2000 people across the United States and Canada. Before our event, we spend time highlighting auction items via emails and social media posts as a way to not only promote the items but to promote the businesses who support our important work.

Our annual fundraiser brings in the much needed funds so we may continue to support
The orphanage Hogar de Niños del Amor de Patricia, a children's home for abandoned, abused and neglected children in San Lucas, Sacatepequez.  The Bunk Bed Project, which provides beds to families in need, who otherwise sleep on twigs, cinder blocks or nothing at all.  The Education Program, which assesses the needs of individual families and assists them in creating a structured, functional environment, which helps keep their children in school through sponsorship, nutritional and homework support.
Colegio El Amor de Patricia, an English Immersion school in Yalú, Guatemala.

Thank you for your consideration
