Prevail, Inc. has announced that its Celebration of Hope, presented by Hare Chevrolet was another successful opportunity to engage the community in providing hope and healing for friends and neighbors who need it. Thanks to all the supporters, this year’s event raised over $280,000 to support victims and prevent future violence in the Hamilton County community.

In addition to the Presenting Sponsor, Hare Chevrolet, the event was sponsored by Partner Sponsors, Biddle Memorial Foundation and Protective Insurance, and Companion Sponsors, Gaylor Electric and BMO Harris Bank.

The evening began with a cocktail hour reception supported by Power Careers. Dinner followed, where attendees had an opportunity to purchase a Golden Ticket that provided them with a chance at the Dream Vacation of their choice. During dinner, attendees enjoyed a program with a presentation from a courageous speaker who credits Prevail with restoring hope to those who most need it. The program was emceed by Todd Thurston of Hare Chevrolet and included a live auction with auctioneer Gary Deakyne. Dessert was an assortment of delicious cupcakes provided by Heavenly Sweets, and to top the night off, everyone enjoyed dancing with Dave and Rae. The Renaissance Hotel North is a lovely setting for this event, which would not happen without an extraordinary Event Planning Committee who works all year to make it possible.

Prevail thanks all of those sponsors who make this event possible, in addition to Prevail’s media sponsors, The Current, the Hamilton County Reporter and Davant.
