We celebrated the Sweetest Night of Hope
on Thursday, February 27th, 2025 at Venue 252 in Eugene

It was an enchanting evening at Parenting Now's 2025 Night of Hope Candyland Auction & Gala, where elegance met whimsy!

We rolled out the red (and rainbow) carpet to honor Leslie Finlay, our 2025 Minalee Saks Champion of Children.

 

Inspiration: Our gala isn’t just about sweets—it’s about sweetening lives! We were inspired by heartwarming stories of local families and the impact we’re making together.

Community Love: We shared laughter and joy with fellow candy enthusiasts.

Sweet Surprises: There were many hidden candy treasures throughout the venue.

Elegance: Our guests were dressed to impress in their finest confection-inspired attire. Think pastel tuxedos, gowns adorned with licorice ribbons, and sparkling candy cane accessories - it was a night to remember!

Local Families, Local Love: Every ticket that we sold went to support our mission to create a brighter future for local families.

It was a delectable soirée - the gala where dreams tasted as sweet as cotton candy clouds!

Couldn't attend? That's okay; you can give a gift in lieu of attending and still show your support!
You can also make a Gift in Honor of our 2025 Champion of Children.

Together, we built a Candyland of hope—one sprinkle at a time!
