This event is an opportunity to raise funds and awareness for the organization’s mission to serve people with intellectual, developmental and personal challenges and create opportunities for a good life. Now in its 21st year, the event continues to grow, raising over $200,000 annually!  

Proceeds will benefit the agency’s Family Support Services. In keeping with tradition, a wonderful evening of fine food, drinks and great company under a beautifully decorated tent awaits you!  

Each year a community member(s) is selected as a Garden Party honoree, in recognition of their commitment to our community. David has quietly been supportive throughout the years as Ellie immersed herself in numerous activities serving our community. She has served on many boards including the YWCA, United Way, Derryfield School, Colby Sawyer College, Special Olympics NH, The Moore Center, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation-Manchester Region, NeighborWorks, NH Bar Foundation and Manchester Proud. She served as Capital Campaign Co-Chair for Easter Seals NH and Elliot Hospital’s Cancer Center. Ellie was named one of the first Trustee Emeritus of Derryfield School. In 2014, she was named as the Citizen of the Year by the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. Ellie and David have been a pillar of support in Greater Manchester, and as such, we are thrilled to honor them for all they have done and continue to do.
