Raising Hope

TO PURCHASE TICKETS: Please contact Karol Maurer at kmaurer@ccwestmi.org

The event will be held Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. at Frederik Meijer Gardens. During the event, we will be hearing from our clients who have been positively impacted by the support provided through our programs, as well as our keynote speaker, Leah Darrow.

Leah is an international speaker, writer, wife to a US Army Green Beret, and mom to six marvelous children. Leah speaks to people of all ages on topics of mercy, conversion, Pro-Life issues, human dignity, modesty and chastity. Leah dares her audience to live a life according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and is calling on society to recognize the beauty of children and to challenge the notion that abortion is necessary for women’s success. Today, she juggles her time between caring for her six children and serving as a Catholic speaker and advocate for the unborn. Purchase a ticket to our VIP cocktail reception, where Leah will be available for a meet and greet.

With your ticket purchase, please enjoy the Christmas and Holiday Traditions Around the World exhibit at the gardens! We are committed to sharing our agency’s success stories and celebrate the work that we do in our communities each day. After two years of Raising Hope (at home) we are thrilled to be able to meet in person once again.

Raising Hope raises funds to support the more than 30 social service programs provided by Catholic Charities and through these programs, CCWM provides help and creates hope for more than 18,000 individuals each year.
