How You Can Help

We're Looking for

III

Gift Cards

Any denomination. Perfect for mystery envelopes and always appreciated by our guests.

IV

Monetary Gifts

Contributions go directly toward event costs — venue, catering, décor, entertainment, and more.

"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." — Genesis 12:3 (NIV)

Two Special Experiences

01

The Mystery Envelope

Each envelope is $10 — and every single one holds a surprise. Your prize could be worth more than $10, exactly $10, or a little less. That's the mystery. That's the fun.

All prizes inside the mystery envelopes are made possible by our generous donors. If you'd like to contribute items for the envelopes, we'd love to hear from you.

$10 per envelope · Prizes inside every one
02

The Silent Auction

Browse and bid on a curated collection of donated items throughout the evening. The silent auction is open to all guests and runs alongside the event.

If you'd like to donate an item for the silent auction, we welcome contributions of all kinds — from home goods and appliances to gift cards and unique experiences.
