Port Huron, MI — It’s been a tough year for event planners and fundraisers, and businesses and organizations have learned to be flexible and adapt to changing rules on social gatherings. Hunter Hospitality House had to cancel their Hope Blooms event twice, and has now decided to go virtual for 2021.
The Hope Blooms from Home event give supporters an opportunity to donate to the nonprofit while entering drawings for a wide range of prizes. They are also accepting sponsorships along with regular donations to support their work.
Tracy Willard, Executive Director of Hunter Hospitality House , said, “The Hope Blooms from Home idea started out as Plan D to our annual fundraising banquet. Plans A, B & C had all been cancelled over the past two years, due to the pandemic, and we really needed to come up with an idea that would work well for HHH and our supporters in these uncertain times to bring some much needed funds in for the organization. We’ve been overwhelmed with the response. Even former guests, who live in other states, have been able to join in, providing free hospital lodging for people in the very same situations they’d experienced. Hope Blooms from Home is going so well, we’re considering a “From Home” option to all of our future Hope Blooms live events!”
Hunter Hospitality House transferred all gifts to their cancelled events into their operational budget, but any tickets purchased for those events will be honored for entry to the next live event.
