Tickets available for Annual Luncheon
Franklin Lakes, NJ – On October 24, 2024, the Spring Lake Hope Foundation will proudly host its Eighth Annual Gala Luncheon at the scenic Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes. The annual event, presented by Provident Bank and Psychotherapy Care Center is a profound celebration of the “lil’ heroes” whose courage and resilience are a ‘beacon of hope for all of us’. The outpouring of support from the community underscores the vital role Spring Lake Hope Foundation plays in the lives of families facing the unimaginable challenges that come with rare childhood illnesses.
This year’s event will once again feature the presentation of the Zoey Award, named in memory of Zoey Komninos, a cherished hero of the Spring Lake Hope Foundation. Zoey’s unwavering spirit touched countless lives during her sixteen-year battle with severe health challenges. The award will be given to a child in need, with the goal of significantly improving their quality of life.
The Gala Luncheon will also shine a spotlight on other lil’ heroes, whose stories of perseverance and strength serve as a powerful reminder of why this foundation’s work is so critical. Each child honored will receive special gifts to brighten their holidays and provide much-needed relief to their families, ensuring that the positive impact of this event is felt long after the day is over.
A gourmet lunch will be served, allowing guests to indulge while supporting a noble cause. The event will also feature a silent auction with high-end prizes, from exclusive vacations to luxury goods, autographed sports memorabilia and more—all generously donated by supporters of the foundation. Every bid and every dollar raised goes directly to the foundation’s mission of providing financial assistance to families in need, ensuring that no child is left without the care they deserve.
“Our sponsors, and the dozens of volunteers are the ones who help keep hope alive for so many families,” Paulette Pera Laurenzi added. “Their dedication makes it possible for us to continue this essential work and to bring comfort and support to those who need it most.”
