Join us for our biggest fundraiser and party of the year for Outreach Ministries
Over $507,000 raised over 18 years to support over 24 organizations
FOTH is a parish-wide event that has grown into Saint Timothy's largest fund-raising event to benefit all the
ministries that we support through our grants
and with our hands-on projects. It involves a large number of
volunteers who have a great time working together to do the work He has given us to do.
Funds raised: In 2015, FOTH netted an all-time record of $46,767! We thank all our generous donors and
volunteers. The Parish rallied to support
Outreach even though our yearly allocation of $25,000 had been
cut due to the church budget deficit. We were still able to give only 10% less
in grants to
the 14 ministries
that we support.
This year, we have had $5,000 reinstated, (plus $2,500 for other non-Outreach designated organizations)
and we are so grateful, but we need your help
as
we still have to work hard to make up for the $20,000 in
funds
that we won’t have to help our brothers and sisters in great need.
Outreach Ministries: All 14 ministries we support are represented by a liaison who will be wearing a large
pin for
their organization so you may ask them
about
what their organizations do. We hope you will become
acquainted
with them on the Beneficiaries page on this site.
Get ready to have fun: This is a great opportunity for fun and fellowship, for the whole parish to come
together to put
on the event, and for newcomers to
jump
in and meet people. We go all out and dress
according to our theme,
if you got a hankerin', so get your plaid shirts, jeans, and boots on and come party.
Bring
your friends and
neighbors to join us. We have extra invitations.
Here's the lowdown on the hoedown:
Things will never be the same down on the farm.
Silent Auction, Raffles, Country Style Buffet
Wall of Wine, Fund-A-Need
and bring your boots for some
Boot Scootin' Boogie line dancing!
