Family Promise Sets Record with Spring Event

Martin Wise, Board Chair, welcomes guests to the May 2010 spring event.

Family Promise set an all-time fundraising record at our 8th Annual Spring Event, held at Baltusrol Golf Club on May 21st. Over $250,000 was donated to support efforts nationwide to help homeless and low income families achieve sustainable independence. We wish to thank our donors, volunteers, Board Members and loyal friends for their invaluable contributions to the evening’s success.

Let the bidding begin.

Auctioneer Brian Jaffe got the bidding started before ceding the stage to Claas Ehlers, Director, IHN and Tom Cioffi, National Associate, who auctioned off the big ticket items, five Affiliate initiatives. These initiatives will fund the establishment of new Interfaith Hospitality Networks across the country.

Claas Ehlers, Director of IHN, and Tom Cioffi, IHN Associate, work to recruit monies for new Network development nationwide.
