ECHOS of Hope Gala
A Night of Inspiring Hope, Celebrating Change
You are invited to the 4th Annual ECHOS of Hope Gala on Thursday May 15, 2025, for an evening of celebration. This signature event is our largest annual fundraiser to further our mission of preventing and alleviating poverty in our neighbors. Enjoy refreshing cocktails, a delicious dinner, paddle raise with a local auctioneer, and inspiring company as you show your support for ECHOS and your belief in our continued vision for the greater Elizabethtown area.
Ticket Price: $125 per person
Poverty Simulation
Facilitated by Community Action Partnership (CAP), this interactive experience is designed to deepen understanding of the challenges many of our guests face every day. It’s a powerful way to build empathy, strengthen your volunteer practice, and connect with others in our community.
The simulation walks participants through a month of navigating the realities of daily life when accessing local supports and resources. Participants are given a family persona and are grouped with others to navigate the simulation as a family with your given circumstances.
Thank you to our partners, Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County and Elizabethtown College, for helping the event run smoothly and thank you to the Elizabethtown Rotary for sponsoring our Poverty Simulation.
