We knew we could count on you!
The principals of both schools sent their heartfelt thanks and noted that both students and teachers need support now more than ever as they continue to struggle with the financial effects of the pandemic.
Looking ahead, the HHCF has planned a great lineup of activities. We’re hosting our first-ever Tiffany Style Luncheon and Fashion Show on Wednesday, September 22. The event gives you a chance to put on your prettiest clothes, enjoy a fabulous meal and be treated to a runway show featuring clothing from one of the most fashionable local boutiques. It also will include lots of special surprises, including lovely giveaways and raffles for filled-to-the-brim gift baskets. Look for details on page 20 and register early as seating is limited.
On October 13, we’re happy to be bringing back our Mahjong Marathon. It’s been one of our most successful events, attracting players from inside and outside Hampton Hall and offering a full day of fun and friendship. More information will available in the next few weeks.
For the fourth year in a row, Hampton Hall friends and neighbors stepped up to help local students get a head start on the school year.
The Hampton Hall Charitable Fund’s (HHCF) School Supplies Drive brought in van loads of pencils, pens, binders, backpacks, crayons, markers and so much more that were donated to Red Cedar Elementary School and Bluffton Middle School just as classes started.
And on December 5, get ready to tour some of the most beautiful Hampton Hall homes decked out for Christmas. The first Holiday Home Tour in 2019 showcased decorating themes ranging from coastal to contemporary, and of course included lots of sparkle and shine. We’re hoping this year’s event will be even merrier.
Proceeds from all of these events go to our annual Grants Program, which provides funding to a variety of local non-profit agencies that work to meet the needs of underprivileged children and families in our area.
