An Evening Of H.O.P.E
02/12/2011 - By Orlando, FL

An Evening Of H.O.P.E

More than 400 guests gathered at the Church Street Ballroom February 12 to create HOPE for teens aging out of the foster care system.

The Mardi-Gras-themed evening featured New-Orleans-style dishes that made guests feel as though they were walking in the French Quarter. In addition to great cuisine, guests enjoyed dancing, bidding generously on silent auction items and trying their luck at the casino. The live auction was also a hit, featuring an NFL Dream Package that included four tickets to the 2011 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season opener, VIP access to the Bucs Training Camp, lunch with head coach Raheem Morris and two season tickets – the package sold for $8,200!

Many thanks to An Evening of HOPE Gala Chairperson Kelly Green as well as Jeff Faine, Jeff Sharon and Cliff Rogers for their vital work on the planning committee.

The event benefits The Faine House, a transitional living program for youth aging out of foster care.
To address the needs faced by these teens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Jeff Faine partnered with Children's Home Society of Florida (CHS) to create a program to provide them with housing, life skills coaching, mentoring and counseling, and referrals to community resources for education and work. Through The Faine House, youth will receive support and guidance to help them make positive decisions as they transition into independence and self-sufficiency.
