St. Gerard House is pleased to announce its tenth annual First Words of Hope Luncheon. Its title,
First Words of Hope, represents many things. It refers to the organizations’ firm commitment to
help individuals with autism reach their highest potential, and pays homage to one of the
greatest blessings in their work, the opportunity to witness a child communicate successfully for
the first time.
The live premier event will take place August 26th at 12 noon online at
https://givebutter.com/sghluncheon. All are welcome. Caroline Long, Executive Director shares
“First Words of Hope is our annual fundraising luncheon that serves as the largest source of
unrestricted funds.” Proceeds from this fundraising event help meet the needs of many WNC
families with children on the autism spectrum. Over 70% of programs offered at St Gerard
House are subsidized to make services accessible to all who need them. Community financial
support allows St. Gerard House to continue this practice.
The mission of St. Gerard House is to help individuals with autism and their families
experience more joy and achieve meaningful life outcomes. St. Gerard House is a nonprofit organization in Hendersonville, NC offering evidence-based treatment for
individuals with autism as well as programs for family members, guardians, caregivers,
teachers, and others involved with care of the individual.

What: Local musicians, singers, callers, and technicians have given us joy as they shared their love of music and dance with us. We now ask our community to return that joy as they struggle financially during this difficult time by donating to our “Spread the Joy” fundraiser.
Who: All donations will be paid directly and equally to local talent. Your contributions will support local callers, musicians, and technicians who participated, a minimum of 4 times, either in the past year (March 2019 – March 2020) or were scheduled in the near future (March – June 2020) for OFB events and who indicated a financial need to the OFB Board.
When: The OFB will distribute donations on a regular basis while dances continue to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so please give early and often. Consider donating the price you would have paid for admission to the dances for you, maybe several friends, and remembering that the dances were cancelled back in early March.
How: Click the link below to donate via Paypal and please add the note: “Spread the Joy fundraiser”. Donate conveniently via your credit card, debit card or your Paypal account.
