Our Fundraisers
Annual Tulip Bouquet SaleOur Annual Tulip Bouquet Sale, which is our largest volunteer fundraiser of the year is a wonderful event in the Wabash Valley. Our volunteers deliver over 1300 bouquets each year. There’s an easy way to remember when it’s “tulip time” because it is always held on Administrative Professional’s Day. Our Tulip Sale is a wonderful way that we can celebrate the sign of life and the hope of spring with someone special.
