Imagine an evening where the heart of transformation beats loudly, where generosity doesn’t just fill a room but creates a ripple effect before the furniture even finds a new home. Welcome to the fourth annual chair-itable event, happening at the Furnish Hope Donation Center. This year, we’re ditching the traditional auction for a more immersive experience, inviting you to be part of something truly special.
Event details you won’t want to miss
Mark your calendars for May 29, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM at 1006 SE 9th Street, Bend, OR. This isn’t just another event—it’s a chance to witness how your contributions directly impact lives. As the sun sets and the evening unfolds, you’ll be greeted by our dedicated volunteers who will guide you through the evening’s flow.
Getting there
Worried about parking? Fear not! There’s ample space available on the property, with our friendly Furnish Hope volunteers ready to assist you as you arrive. Just a heads up, some areas are paved while others are gravel, so wear comfortable shoes! To ensure a smooth start, the gates will swing open at 6 PM, allowing you to settle in before the main event kicks off.
The evening’s agenda
Here’s a little insider tip: arriving after 7 PM means you might miss out on some of the most delicious parts of the night. So, set your alarms and get there early! Before the excitement begins, don’t forget to check your email for a pre-registration invite sent on May 16th. This simple step will help speed up your check-in process and get you right into the action.
Dress to impress
As for attire, think “Bend Casual Cocktail.” It’s all about striking that perfect balance between looking sharp and feeling relaxed—ideal for a night dedicated to creativity and community.
A taste of what’s in store
The first half of the evening will unfold under a beautifully lit tent, where you’ll mingle over drinks and indulge in a grazing table filled with delightful bites. Picture this: hot Zydeco appetizers and fresh paella prepared right before your eyes by La Paella. It’s an interactive social hour that promises not just great food but also great company.
Experience the heart of our mission
After the social hour, prepare to step into the donation center itself—the beating heart of our mission! This is where the real action happens week after week. You’ll witness firsthand the magic of transformation as we showcase the impact of your support. It’s not just about furniture; it’s about creating homes and communities filled with hope and dignity.
