We look forward to seeing you for Operation Hope of Fairfield’s 23rd Annual Evening of Hope Celebration, “Where Hope Blooms,” at Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfield, Connecticut on Thursday, May 7, 6-10pm. Please click here to purchase a sponsorship, table, individual tickets, ads or make a donation to support our largest annual fundraiser.
This year, we are thrilled to honor Operation Hope of Fairfield Executive Director CARLA MIKLOS as our Champion of Hope and recognize her tremendous impact in our organization and in our community. As Carla is retiring this spring after 19 years of service to Operation Hope, the footprint she leaves behind is measured not just in meals served and people housed, but in the countless lives she has uplifted. Carla inspires the belief that, like flowers, hope can bloom even in the most difficult environments.
We are grateful to welcome these sponsors on board, and invite you to join them as a sponsor!
