Celebration 2008 -- Friday, May 16th, 2008

The Heart to Heart Celebration was appropriately named 22 years ago as we connect the hearts of our planners, sponsors and guests with the hearts of the over 5,000 families served through these twenty-two years.

Our 23rd Annual Celebration will be held Friday, May 16th at the Colonial Clock Building in Zeeland.  The event will feature approximately 70 ten-bid auction items and 6 vocal auction packages.  Examples of past ten-bid auction items include: flat screen TVs, a day of pampering at a local spa, a Crystal Mountain Resort package, an afternoon garden party for 8 and 10 hours in a private jet.  Examples of past vocal auction packages include: a progressive dinner party for eight people along the shores of Lake Michigan, dinner for 12 prepared in your home by caterer Tom Nienhuis and an all-expense-paid trip to Africa.

Another amazing part of this event is the food!  Several area chefs collaborate and coordinate a delectable menu where each chef assumes responsibility for one course.  Over the course of the evening, guests have the opportunity to visit 10 stations where taste buds experience a slice of heaven!

In May of 2007,  Celebration raised $113,000 to go toward the care of patients and their families.  Help us make 2008 a year to remember!  If you have any questions or would like information on how to attend or sponsor Celebration 2008, please contact Beth Erlandson at 616-396-2972 or berlandson@hollandhospice.org.
