Join us on Saturday, May 4 for Kara's 2024 Spring Fundraiser, for a special opportunity to celebrate Kara's work with friends and family and support our bereavement services for the community. We will enjoy delicious hors d'oeuvres and beverages, live Spanish guitar music, raffles, and games while raising crucial funds for Kara's services through a luxury travel package silent auction and fund-a-need auction.

The event will feature an interactive presentation by Claire Bidwell Smith on the topic: Engaging with Grief: Finding Transformation & Healing.

Claire is a grief therapist and successful author who has published five books across 22 countries. The Rules of Inheritance, a coming-of-age memoir about the loss of her parents, was a Books for a Better Life Nominee, a Barnes & Noble Discover pick, has been published in 19 countries, and is currently being adapted for television. After This chronicles her journey as a grief therapist searching for meaning as she explores various beliefs about the afterlife. Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief has been embraced by the clinical world, as well as the general public as a book that expands the psychology of grief and recognizes anxiety as a symptom. Anxious Grief: A Clinician’s Guidebook offers practical tools for therapists working with grieving clients. And Conscious Grieving: A Transformative Approach to Healing from Loss offers a comprehensive and soothing guide for those who are experiencing profound loss.

Invite your friends, family, and colleagues to this special late afternoon community event where we have the privilege of hearing Claire Bidwell Smith speak and an opportunity to support Kara's important programs and services through our Raffles, Games, a Silent "Trips of a Lifetime" Luxury Travel Auction,a Live Auction, and a Fund-a-Need Auction.
