Harvesting Hope

As the days get shorter and the leaves start to change, Growing Futures will invite our community to come together and celebrate the fruits of our labor on Friday, September 17 from 6-9pm at Shawnee Mission Theatre in the Park. Our Harvesting Hope fundraiser is a festive, fall-themed gathering for adults 21+ that benefits the vulnerable children and families that Growing Futures serves.

The event will begin with live music and a craft market, comprised of local KC vendors. After shopping for your fall essentials, guests can grab a delicious boxed dinner from Taylor Made Catering. Beer, wine and other beverages will be provided, along with a fun-spirited wine toss game that benefits the organization.

Step right up! Our vendors have graciously donated items for our evening raffle and guests can enter for their chance to win! For those with more of a sweet tooth, we encourage participation in our steamingly ripe Pie Walk! Again, all proceeds support our organization.

Growing Futures will conduct a short program that speaks to our rich history, programs offered and why the demand for our services continues to grow in Johnson County. Then, our attention will be redirected to our evening speaker, Dr. Adolph Brown. Adolph comes to us all the way from Virginia to discuss his Head Start upbringing in an upbeat, charismatic fashion that is sure to entertain the masses.

A shuttle will circle the parking lot, bringing people to and from the event. Guests will be encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket and set up on the grounds, with a view of the stage. Wearing masks and maintaining social distancing is requested. If the event is rained out, we will postpone the date of the event.

This is one event you're sure to "fall" in love with! Tickets can be purchased at www.bidpal.net/harvestinghope. If interested in becoming a sponsor of this event, please reach out to Jessica Hoffman at jhoffman@growingfutureseec.org.
