Seeds of Hope's 'Hope Springs Eternal' luncheon set for April 7
By John Gleason
The Seeds of Hope Charitable Trust is hosting its 12th annual Hope Springs Eternal luncheon on April 7. The uplifting luncheon this year will have two masters of ceremonies: Jim Benemann, news anchor for CBS4 News, and former NBA player and coach, Bill Hanzlik.
Seeds of Hope serves disadvantaged inner-city children by providing tuition assistance for them to attend Catholic schools. The luncheon and auction is one way to raise money for the assistance. Items up for bid this year include: a one-week stay at a home in Breckenridge; golf outings at local courses and four front row seats to see the Colorado Rockies take on the Detroit Tigers on June 18 (including VIP parking and food).
Entertainment will be provided by Assumption School choir. Featured speaker this year will be Father Bert Chilson, pastor of St. Therese Parish, as well as an eighth-grade Seeds of Hope student from Guardian Angels School.
Betsy Boudreau, Seeds of Hope executive director, said that even with the roller-coaster economy of recent years, turnout for the Hope Springs Eternal luncheon has always been good.
“Our donors and friends of Seeds of Hope are great and support us through thick and thin, which we so appreciate,” she said. “They understand the value of a quality education in a Catholic school, and the foundation it gives and builds for the inner-city students who attend the school.”
Individual tickets are $70, with a reduced rate of $50 for young professionals. Patron tables of 10 are available as well as individual tickets. There is also an opportunity to sponsor tickets for principals, pastors or teachers. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available by contacting Justin Zuiker at 303-715-3186 or e-mail Justin.Zuiker@archden.org.
