Hospitality with a Mission
On September 13, we proudly hosted our inaugural Hospitality with a Mission event, graciously held at the home of Senior Board member Eric Hoffman and his wife, Katie. Thirty guests, including CPA leaders, Board members, friends and community supporters, gathered for an intimate evening featuring a chef-prepared dinner by the talented Ken Labok and his wife, Kim, and a curated wine tasting led by sommelier Michael Torrey.
The meal was nothing short of spectacular, with Ken and his team serving up a delectable array of culinary delights that left guests raving. Every course was carefully crafted, making the dining experience truly memorable and reflective of the passion behind Children’s Place Association’s mission.
Special thanks go to Eric and Katie for their incredible attention to detail and warm hospitality. Their thoughtful touches and welcoming atmosphere made everyone feel connected not only to each other but to the important work being done by CPA. The evening was all about fostering connections and raising awareness, and thanks to their generosity, it was an unforgettable success.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Eric, Katie, Ken, Kim, Michael, and all our guests for making this wonderful night possible.
Leadership Meet & Greet
What an incredible evening bringing together CPA leadership, Junior Board members, and friends of CPA for food, drinks, and, most importantly, meaningful connections! As many of our Junior Board members are new, we toured the Early Learning Center to see firsthand the magic that happens daily when it’s filled with bright, smiling young students. Though our roles may differ, we’re all united in our mission to uplift families and provide the support they need to thrive.
