Why Boots & Bling?
Generous donors are already making an incredible difference for residents at The Retreat. Together, you have helped us complete 22 of 43 in-room upgrades, bringing us more than halfway through our three-year project. Donor support has also made it possible to begin construction on a new state-of-the-art bathing suite, designed to provide residents with a safer, more comfortable, and dignified bathing experience.
But there is more work ahead.
Funds raised through this year’s Winter Gala will help us continue transforming resident rooms, renovate outdoor courtyards, and support programs that enrich the lives of our residents. These programs include:
- Immanuel Living Connections, helping residents who require 24-hour care attend meaningful family gatherings, worship services, celebrations, memorials, and other important events.
- Music Therapy, bringing connection, engagement, and joy to residents while supporting memory, communication, and emotional well-being, particularly for those living with dementia.
Your gift can make an incredible impact:
- $10,000 makes a significant investment toward transforming a resident room or outdoor space
- $5,000 helps fund meaningful programs and experiences for residents
- $2,500 supports resident care, comfort, and connection
- $1,000 helps provide equipment, furnishings, and other resident needs
- $500 helps bring added comfort, engagement, and joy to residents
Every gift, at every level, makes a difference. Thank you for helping our seniors live with greater dignity, comfort, connection, and joy.

At the Immanuel Foundation, we believe that every senior living in Montana has the right to a safe, secure home in an engaging and supportive community. We work every day to make that vision a reality and your financial support is crucial. 60% of our Skilled Care residents are low income, Medicaid qualified. Immanuel Foundation raises funds to support these seniors in need.
