Hattie Larlham Circle of Caring

Description

Join us for Hattie Larlham’s annual Circle of Caring gala on Sat., Nov. 5 at the Bertram Inn & Conference Center in Aurora.  Presented by The Alpha Group for the eighth year in a row, this year celebrates Hattie Larlham’s 55^th anniversary.  Betsy Kling, Chief Meterologist for WKYC-TV Channel 3 News and 2012 Circle of Caring honoree, returns as the gala’s host.

The Circle of Caring features a V.I.P. and cocktail reception, a green-screen photo booth, dinner and a wine pull. Entertainment for the evening will be provided by internationally renowned pianist Christopher Milo. Christopher frequently performs for Hattie Larlham residents, at Constant Companions and Hattie Larlham summer camps. Auctioneer Rob Telecky returns to host our live, silent and Fund-the-Future auctions.

The Fund-the-Future auction supports Hattie Larlham Center for Children with Disabilities renovations.  The construction expands Hattie Larlham's respite and short-term health care services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These in-demand services often have waiting lists, keeping families from much needed care. Supporting the Fund-the-Future auction increases Hattie Larlham's respite capacity fivefold and ensures community families will get the care and services their loved ones need.

For those who cannot attend the event, but would like to participate in the auction, a mobile bidding option is available. Using the BidPal application, guests can bid on silent auction items, purchase raffle tickets and make donations directly from their smartphones.
