Fields of Hope 2024 Recap - Center for Loss and Bereavement

Fields of Hope

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, and donated to the 4th Annual Fields of Hope Event on July 19-21, 2024!

On a beautiful sunny weekend, the event was a resounding success, with an incredible turnout as hundreds of individuals gathered to show their support for the Center’s mission. The day was brimming with exciting activities and meaningful moments. Attendees were treated to sunflower picking, arts and crafts, shared memories and words of hope and inspiration. Silver Orchid Photography partnered with us to capture hope and community spirit with their professional photo shoots, creating lasting memories against the picturesque backdrop of the farm. Visitors also had the opportunity to take home professional floral arrangement vases, adding a touch of natural beauty to their day.

Every person who graced us with their presence contributed to the warm and radiant atmosphere of the event. The Fields of Hope truly lived up to its name, as each participant left with a heart filled with positivity and a little extra sunshine in their lives.
