Sponsorship Opportunities

 

Now in its 9th year, Soles of Love in the Garden is our highly anticipated signature charity event. We are pleased to announce that this year’s gathering will be held at the newly renovated property of our founder, Julie Gaver, at Meadow Branch Farm in Myersville, MD. Come and be part of a relaxing evening of friendship, conversation, music, and community while meandering through the Gavers’ serene country property.

 

Guests are asked to donate all the new children’s shoes their heart will allow which are distributed throughout Frederick and Washington Counties. The theme this year is based on the beloved story “The Secret Garden.” In the words of Author Frances Hodgson Burnett, “And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.”  Our theme this year celebrates miracles that bloom when we are in community with one another and care for those in need.

 

Attendees are invited to wear anything floral to symbolize every child’s right to bloom.
