Let’s Put the FUN Back in Fundraising!

Our 80th Anniversary fundraising dinner will take place at The Riverside Church in the City of New York on Friday, October 23rd, starting at 6pm. We are looking forward to a fantastic night celebrating our honorees, taking a trip down memory lane and raising funds for the Nunemaker Center.

Gather your friends, family, or church community and purchase a table of eight together—then share the cost and the celebration!

To kick off the night, we will also offer a pre-cocktails tour of the historic Riverside Church. (More information coming soon, email Holmes@holmescamp.org to be the first to know. A small additional fee to Riverside Church will apply. )

This year, we’re trading the silent auction for an evening filled with fun, fellowship, and meaningful giving. Rather than bidding on items, we’ll invite our guests to consider making a heartfelt gift to support our mission. And because this is a very special year, we have a very special goal: $80,000 for 80 Years!

Come celebrate this incredible milestone with us and help make our 80th year one to remember!
