Harvest Ball is happening! 🍁

We are excited to announce that our Harvest Ball Fundraiser is still ON, rain or shine!

The event space is covered, so all the fun, food, and fundraising will continue as planned. However, as the temperatures are expected to drop, we strongly encourage all guests to dress warmly—think cozy wraps, jackets, and layers—to ensure you are comfortable throughout the evening.

Important Weather-Related Logistics:

☔ Covered Event: Our venue is covered and protected from the elements.

🚗 Guest Drop-off Zone: A dedicated drop-off area will be available at the main entrance for guests who may need assistance or prefer to avoid the weather during the walk from parking. Look for the directional signs!

🅿️ Parking: Please allow a little extra time for parking and walking to the venue. Drive slowly and carefully in the lot.

We can't wait to celebrate with you tomorrow! Your support means the world to us.
