Community Health Professionals annual dinner and auction will be Thursday evening with dinner at 6 p.m. and the auction beginning at 7 p.m.

The gala supports CHP hospice program. Several thousand dollars are raised annually for the Beacon of Hope, which provides care for patients and families.

The lighthouse symbolizes each individual’s life and the hope that hospice brings.
Donations are gathered throughout the year from businesses for a silent auction, live auction, and raffle. The dinner will be catered by Tavern 101. Cost for the dinner, open house, and auction is $20.

There will be door prizes and a 50/50 drawing, as well. This is the 21st annual Beacon of Hope fundraiser. CHP is located at 1200 S. Main, 419-634-7443.
