Draw Down

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR OUR 10TH ANNUAL DRAW DOWN EVENT ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD AT THE PLUMBER'S HALL!

Homes of Hope hosts two large fundraisers each year. The first one is held in June while the second is held in November.

Our November event is the Draw Down! This event is our LARGEST fundraiser of the year! It is held during the first weekend of November. The Draw Down has been going strong for the past several years. Currently, we have this event at the Plumber’s Hall on Eldorado Road. Here are some details about the evening…….

  • This is a reverse raffle
  • Lots of cash prizes are given away during the evening
  • The Grand Prize is $2000
  • There are ONLY 200 tickets that are sold
  • Multiple things are happening during this event including:

    • *A silent auction

    *Black Jack tables

    *Betting boards

    *Loser’s Pool

    *50/50

  • Open bar is included in the price of your $100 ticket
  • Food is included in the price of your ticket

The Draw Down is indeed a fun event to attend, but more importantly, it allows us to raise enough funds that can sustain our organization through any rough financial times.

History of Homes of Hope

The dream of providing quality living to adults with intellectual disabilities in Central Illinois began in the early 1990s. Concerned parents wondering how their children would be cared for when they were unable to do so set the wheels in motion for the construction of our first home or Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA).

Since Then...

Our dream has grown and we now provide 22 adults the opportunity to assume responsibility for day-to-day living.

We serve each individual with compassion and love, allowing them to grow in dignity and independence.
