Our home on Eglin continues blessing military and veteran families and this annual event, the one we host individually, is a big part of the blessing. With the Intrepid Spirit Center entering full operation, January 2024 was the highest occupancy on record in our 14 years. We are mindful that demand for our house on Eglin will only increase; we need to be prepared and can only do it with you.
Ways to help include sponsorships, silent and live auctions, by purchasing tickets and joining us for a light-hearted evening of inspiration messages and fellowship with other Fisher House fans who have become family. AmFund will be with us offering bucket list vacations.
The evening will begin at 5:30 pm with a social, silent auction – great networking and visiting with friends and making new ones followed by a program at 7:00 pm with seating limited this year to 320 due to ballroom capacity – do NOT wait if you want to attend. Dinner will be served and guests will be treated with words of inspiration and maybe a musical surprise by JP Lane. Who is JP Lane? Learn more here.
Pairing up with JP, a wounded warrior, will be our very own Jennifer Nelson, serving as host for the evening. If you don’t know her – well hold on to your ……hats, if you wear them! I heard there may be fascinators at our event???? What’s a fascinator????
Jennifer is a Real Estate Professional, Mom, published author, Spouse of a wounded warrior, Elizabeth Dole Fellow, and all around great gal. Interesting get to know you while you get to know our mission activities are planned. Read more about Jennifer in a clip here.
Creative, fun and memorable approaches are ALWAYS included with the marketing of this must-attend event. JUST IN, as in HOT OFF THE PRESSES – we will have limited edition copies of Coffee House Wisdom available for a donation, with the author present to sign books. Who doesn’t love the TV Series Friends, and NEW knowledge to share, community groups like ours are called “Friends of Fisher House” and we love our friends and making new ones……this will be a real added treat. The book is a delightfully quick read that highlights episodes to real life lessons and experiences. Which character or characters do you most relate? (I might be Monica, I love lists!) Another chance to spend time with your FRIENDS, Evermore Orlando Resort will offer for the luckiy winner a Long Weekend Package. Up to $12k value.
Sponsors and military can compete for the honor of Fisher House’s biggest fan by bringing the biggest team unseating, perhaps the 2023 Biggest Fan, Axient! (only) 320 seats are available, and will sell out. Supporting this event says thank you in a very tangible way to our military and veteran families who stay with us for hope and healing. Occupany numbers remain high at our Fisher House on Eglin and when our house is at capacity, we place families in partner hotels. Join us to ensure there is always room in our inn. Individual tickets are $165.00.
Our fundraising goal for the evening is $100,000 and will go to support the structure of the house, internally and externally and to provide hospitality and hope for the families staying with us. Your help is greatly appreciated.
