Sweet Expectations: Your Guide to SpoFI’s Dessert Fundraiser

Are you ready for an evening of delectable treats, heartwarming stories, and community impact? Our annual Dessert Fundraiser is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to share this special night with you. Here’s what you can look forward to on October 5th!

1. A Warm Welcome

As you arrive at Valleypoint Church (714 S Pines Road, Spokane Valley), you’ll be greeted by our friendly volunteers and staff. Doors open at 6:30 PM, giving you time to mingle, find your seat, peruse the silent auction tables, and soak in the atmosphere before the program starts at 7:00 PM.

2. Inspiring Stories

You’ll hear powerful testimonies from fathers who’ve been through our programs and from donors who have made our work possible. These real-life stories showcase the transformative impact of SpoFI’s work. One recent graduate shared, “My four-year-old daughter says, ‘Daddy, you don’t get mad at us anymore. You don’t yell at us like you used to.’” Prepare to be moved and inspired!

3. Learn About Our Impact

Our Executive Director, Ron Hauenstein, will share exciting updates about SpoFI’s recent achievements, including our $45,000 grant from the State of Washington. You’ll gain insights into how your support directly contributes to strengthening families in Spokane.

4. Networking Opportunities

Connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about building stronger families and communities. This is a great chance to meet other supporters, volunteers, and many of the fathers we’ve worked with.

5. Fun and Laughter

We believe in the power of joy, so expect some light-hearted moments too! Be prepared for some world-class dad jokes – where else can you groan and grin at the same time?

6. Ways to Get Involved

Inspired to do more? We’ll share various ways you can support SpoFI’s mission, from volunteering to spreading the word about our programs. Of course, there will also be opportunities to make financial contributions if you feel moved to do so.

7. A Sweet Sendoff

As the evening concludes, you’ll leave with a full heart, knowing that you’re part of a community making a real difference in the lives of fathers and families in Spokane and beyond.
