Foundation Events
The Immanuel Foundation hosts events, online auctions, fundraisers, and unique other opportunities and activities throughout the year. Thank you to all who have previously participated in our online auctions. Our next online auction will be later this year! Stay tuned for more information about it and how you can participate.
Winter Gala
Each November, the Immanuel Foundation Winter Gala kicked off the season of giving with an evening of fine dining, auctions, and supporting our area’s seniors in need. This year the Winter Gala include a champagne reception, surf and turf, wine pairings, silent and live auctions, and a fun and festive program. Last year we raised over $175,000 in 2025 to help our older adults who have outlived their means in The Retreat (formerly known as Skilled Care Center). These funds were dedicated to upgrading the private living spaces of those residents. Join us at our upcoming event on November 12, 2026. Tickets will go on sale soon!
Immanuel Foundation Online Auctions
We accept donations of gently used furniture, household goods, and other items throughout the year to support our efforts. These auctions help to fund our employee emergency fund. Our next online auction will happen soon, stay tuned to learn about how you can participate!
