4TH ANNUAL SPARKLE FOR HOPE: SHINING THE LIGHT
4TH ANNUAL SPARKLE FOR HOPE: SHINING THE LIGHT
Some evening events end when the final guest leaves and the lights go off. Others continue to shine quietly, steadily, and far beyond where they began. Our Fourth Annual Sparkle of Hope, held Thursday, July 16, 2026, at The Raymond Family Farm in New Hartford, Connecticut, was one of those evenings because of the generosity, friendship, compassion, and hope shown by our donors, supporters, and community members. Thanks to their individual and collective effort, we have raised funds that will directly support Divine Hope Mission’s work, including the ongoing construction of the Divine Hope Health Center in Nigeria, as well as other services we provide, like food and medical outreach programs.
Our deepest thanks to The Raymond Family Farm, our gracious host; to our generous sponsors; to all who donated auction and raffle items or gave monetary gifts; and to The Substitutes band for providing beautiful music.
We are grateful to Joe D’Ambrosio, our keynote speaker and master of ceremonies, for this generous gift of time and talent; to all who contributed in different ways; and to our board and volunteers, whose dedication to planning and organizing brought the event ot life.
