‘Tis the season for giving, gifting, and gratefulness – something that the Fairfield Friend’s Fundraiser is hoping to do on Thursday December 16th at their 1st Annual Winter Charity Gala benefiting Make-A-Wish Connecticut.

The event is being held at 6pm at The Paterson Club; Fairfield’s exclusive year-round Golf and Social Club located in Greenfield Hills. The formal black-tie Gala promises to be an unforgettable luxury dining experience featuring a plated 4-course menu along with a premium open bar, DJ, top of the line auction items, and a photo and video booth to capture all the moments.

Some of the sponsors helping make the Gala possible include: Yellowbrick Real Estate, Total Mortgage, Layla’s Falafel, TG's Landscaping, Land Rover of Fairfield, Real Estate Law Group and many more.

Thomas Bepko and his wife, Lila Bepko, founded the Fairfield Friend’s Fundraiser to bring awareness and gratitude to Fairfield, a community that they personally call home. Fairfield Friend’s actively partners with local charities and families to develop life-changing relationships and deliver much needed resources to those who face unimaginable challenges.

This past summer Fairfield Friend’s held a fundraiser at the Penfield Beach Pavilion and raised $23,000 for Al’s Angels: a local charity that provides support to children and families who are dealing with cancer, rare blood diseases, natural disasters, and financial hardships.

Tickets to the Winter Gala on Thursday December 16th are $250 each with all proceeds going to Make-A-Wish Connecticut. You can purchase yours now by using this link: Friends of Fairfield Winter Gala

If you cannot attend the event but would like to donate, you can do so by using the same link. Their goal at the Gala is to raise $15,000 to help a terminally ill child receive their wish. Make-A-Wish Foundation started over 40 years ago and continues to grant a wish every 34 minutes with the help of fundraisers like this and through donors like yourself.
