Fields of Hope

 

Join us at the 4th Annual Fields of Hope Sunflower Event

Registration coming soon!

Our one-of-a-kind Fields of Hope fundraising event is held at a private sunflower field on our founder’s farm. The golden sunflowers towering over the fields create a picturesque backdrop and symbol of hope that will take your breath away. Guests can pick their own sunflowers and/or participate in a professional photography session with Silver Orchid Photography against the sunflower backdrop. 

The event is family friendly and perfect for all ages. Whether you’re a photography enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Reservations are required for entry to this private event.

In these private fields on our founder’s farm, rows upon rows of vibrant sunflowers stand tall, symbolizing the strength and growth that can emerge from even the deepest grief. Each row represents an opportunity for you to pay tribute with a dedication sign to an inspiring individual or cherished memory that left an indelible mark on your life. 

By naming or dedicating a row of sunflowers, you not only contribute to the breathtaking landscape, but also extend a helping hand to those who are navigating the challenging journey of grief. Your generous donations will directly benefit the Center for Loss and Bereavement, an organization committed to providing compassionate support and guidance to individuals and families facing loss.
