Reaching Out Celebration Table Captains 

Welcome! We’re so grateful that you are interested in becoming – or learning more about becoming – a Table Captain for Hopelink’s 30th Annual Reaching Out Celebration! 

You can help make this event a success by inviting guests from your professional networks and personal communities to join you at the Celebration and by encouraging support of Hopelink. Thank you for introducing your circle to Hopelink. 

As a Table Captain, your goal is to fill a table with ten (10) people, including yourself. Want to be a Table Captain, but don’t want to do it alone? No problem! Ask a friend or colleague to join you as a co-captain and share the opportunity to introduce people to Hopelink.

What to expect at the event

In addition to a complimentary dinner, you will hear from inspiring guest speakers who will share about the work Hopelink is doing to support people in need within our community. During the event, you and your guests will be asked to give a donation to support Hopelink’s work. (Minimum suggested donation: $200)

Ways to give

As a Table Captain, you will distribute donation forms to your guests and gifts of cash or checks made out to Hopelink will be collected at the table. Guests may also give online here.

Many Hopelink donors prefer to give gifts from their assets. Gifts of stock, IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, and Donor Advised Funds are all very popular options and can result in greater tax advantages. Let us know if you’d like more information about these options.

Check with your employer to see if your donation at this event can be matched.
