Join Us for the Bethany Hill Place Spring Gala!

Thursday, April 27, 2023, 6:00 PM

The Connors Center, 20 Glen Street, Dover, MA 02030

For many years, our generous community of supporters have been coming together at our annual Spring Gala to raise unrestricted, flexible funds for the vital programming and services of Bethany Hill Place, a living and learning community offering stable, affordable housing for 120 adults and children annually. Money raised at the gala is used to give families and individuals the opportunity to build skills and take monumental steps out of poverty. Your support will provide our individual and family residents with:

• Career and education coaching
• Parenting education
• Children’s afterschool, summer, and youth development activities
• Therapeutic and well-being services
• Supports for basic household and family needs
• Social get-togethers with neighbors

With your generosity, residents and their families will be able to address obstacles hindering their pathway forward and take the life-changing steps needed to create healthy, positive futures.

We are excited to be celebrating with you again in person on April 27!

The Gala takes place on the bucolic 80-acre Connors Center estate in Dover beginning at 6 pm with a cocktail reception featuring an open wine and beer bar and savory hors d’ouevres. A brief program starts at 7 pm, hosted by 1854 Cycling Company Founder/CEO and Bethany Hill Place board member Brandale Randolph, and will include remarks from one of our residents that will inspire all of us. An artisan collection of homemade desserts, coffee, and tea follows the speaking program.
