Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Save the date and make plans now to support an evening that can truly make a difference in the lives of children in Haiti.  Join Chances for Children’s for the 6th Annual Night of Hope for dinner and dancing at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess on Saturday, November 11, 2017.  

This year’s theme is Message in Bottle. Attendees are encouraged to dress in cocktail type attire.

Chances for Children also wanted to look for ways to keep children with their families, and created a works program that currently employs women with jobs making jewelry and sewing – upping these women’s average income of $2 a day to $150 a month.

Last year the event raised a record $600,000, but it hopes to raise even more money this year to continue to fund and grow its current programs, and to create new ones as well.  

“Chances for Children feeds almost 3,000 children who normally would go hungry and might die of starvation,” said Kathi Juntunen, president and founder of Chances for Children. “We hope by raising more than $700,000 this year we can feed 4,000 children next year and expand some of our programs so that we can help these kids to have a better future.”

The evening kicks off at 5:30 p.m. with cocktails, followed by festivities, including a three-course meal at 7 p.m.  

Additionally, on the afternoon of Friday, November 10th and the morning of Saturday, November 11th Chances for Children will also host an event for families with children adopted through their programs. The children will get participate in fun activities and reconnect with others adopted from Haiti and participate in cultural classes, where the children can learn more about their heritage.

Tickets for the charity dinner are $150 per ticket for adults and $50 each for children under 12. Tickets can be purchased at Chances4Children.org
