PHOTOS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We thank all our sponsors who are represented below. Please see who they are, because they have supported the very needed work of Bessie’s Hope for years. We thank all our auction donors who were beautifully represented on our Bolder Events site for two weeks. We thank all of you who purchased auction items and who made donations. We thank our amazing auction chairperson, Nancy Rawls, who took the photos and wrote the descriptions for the auction site, and who was responsible for making sure we had a great and diverse array of items, and who has kept everything organized, including the delivery of all the items. We thank our wonderful event committee and volunteers. Please see their names below. We thank Tony David and WildeFire, who provided their musical talent and time to create a virtual party! We thank our charismatic auctioneer/emcee, Eric Goodman, our production/auction company, Bolder Events, and Jeremy Golden of Graham Golden Technologies for helping us ensure that we presented a professional and entertaining virtual event.
Thank you all for joining us via your computers and televisions. It was exciting to have gala attendees from all over the country! Thank you to those of you who hosted “watch parties”. We have photos from a few of those on the event web page. If others of you would like to share photos of your gatherings, please email them to linda@bessieshope.org. We will add those, as well!
Bessie’s Hope has focused our work for over 26 years on nursing home elders. We have brought ongoing relationships, intergenerational magic, joy, love, respect, hugs, laughter and listening ears to hear all the wonderful stories. All who support Bessie’s Hope help us shine a light on these beautiful human beings, who have built the very communities we all enjoy. Tragic that they are truly the forgotten segment of our society.
