Description

Our event raises necessary funds to continue serving the dying in our home. We have 16 beds and volunteers tend to their needs. Francis House has cared for over 3,900 over 32 years.

There is no sit-down dinner, speeches, dancing or formal attire. I like to call it the "The Prize Party". It's an informal way to meet-and-greet while enjoying grazing stations of a variety of delicious food. It also gives people the opportunity to learn more about Francis House and what we do.

Guests buy keys to open doors on miniature houses. If the key opens the lock the quest wins a prize. Key's cost $5, $10 and $20. The value of prizes is also graduated. There is also a very diverse Silent Auction to interest everyone.
