The Presbyterian Home for Children (PHFC) hosted its Sweet Home Soirée on April 2 at The Club in Birmingham and has two more Soirée galas set for Huntsville and Mobile.
Several hundred supporters gathered for PHFC’s signature Soirée in Birmingham, which featured a plated dinner, live jazz music and silent and live auctions. The Birmingham Soirée marked the first the Home hosted the gala since the pandemic started two years ago. During the Birmingham festivities, the Home honored Tom and Patti Winter for their life affirming ministries and unrelenting support of at-risk children and youth.
“Each Soirée gives the Home the opportunity to recognize and honor those individuals who have been faithful and impactful ministry partners enabling the continuing care of the precious children and youth entrusted to us,” said Doug Marshall, president and CEO of the Home.
The legacy of Tom and Patti Winter’s dedication to at-risk children and youth continues with the creation of the Tom & Patti Winter Education Fund for Ascension Leadership Academy. Every donation to this fund recognizes the importance of education as a requirement to thrive in today’s world. To learn more visit: https://secure.swell.gives/SHSBirmingham/donations#/amount
