Our Annual Fall Gala is right around the corner! We look forward to welcoming you back to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park for a wonderful evening. While it’s always fun to get dressed up and visit with friends we don’t often see, our gala serves a significant purpose as being the only annual fundraiser where all proceeds go directly to the Sunset Benevolence Fund.
The Sunset Benevolence Fund: An Extension of Our Mission
Since first opening our doors over five decades ago, our mission has remained steadfast: To provide quality services for senior adults in a spirit of Christian love. Our mission is evident through every word we speak and decision we make, including our dedication to the Sunset Benevolence Fund. Benevolence steps in when a resident, through no fault of their own, outlives their financial resources. Dollars raised for benevolence go directly toward supplementing the living and care expenses for approved residents. This allows them to continue to enjoy the quality of life within the Christian environment of the Sunset community they have chosen. We believe that the Sunset Benevolence Fund is a direct extension of our mission.
The Why Behind Benevolence
Here at Sunset, we have the privilege of serving a really special group of individuals. The seniors that we serve are part of a generation that provided, supported, and instilled Christian values to their family, friends, and communities. Those Christian values led them to a Sunset community and now we have the opportunity to support and care for them, in a spirit of Christian love, throughout the rest of their lives.
Support Resident Benevolence
Giving to the Sunset Annual Gala by way of sponsorship is a simple and meaningful way to support our Benevolence Fund. It enables you to extend your personal or corporate commitment to caring for someone in need right within your own community. Every dollar that is given toward this event directly supports benevolence throughout Sunset Senior Communities. We are proud to offer a variety of sponsorship levels to meet any budget. If you are interested in sponsoring the 2024 Sunset Gala, please peruse through our gala sponsorship booklet and visit our gala webpage. The joy felt by giving back to this selfless, hard-working generation is immeasurable.
