2009 Benefit
Our benefit is fast approaching. Can you see it? Twenty years of providing safe and comfortable homes and support services for adults with mental illnesses, giving hope to our more than 150 participants and countless family members and friends.
This much anticipated event will take place on February 14, 2009 at the Woman's Club of Evanston,
Want to get involved? There are many ways that you can participate:
1. Come to the benefit. Nothing could be easier. Shop our silent auction table, buy some raffle tickets, see a great show and mingle with beautiful people, all while supporting a great cause. To receive and invitation to the benefit contact Karen Palmer at kpalmer@housingopt.org
2. Donate a silent auction item. Do you or someone you know own a boutique? A restaurant? A travel agency? A sports team? There are a million exciting silent auction items out there, and we want them on our tables. Please help! Click here for more information or contact Karen Palmer at kpalmer@housingopt.org.
3. Be a corporate sponsor. Do you work for a company? Does that company need exposure and want to support a great cause? If so, this is definitely an option you should consider. Our corporate sponsors all receive mention at the event, in our programs, in our newsletter, and our annual report. The perks just get better from there dependent upon your sponsorship level.
