UpcomingEVENTS

How does a small nonprofit like the Hult Center for Healthy Living compete for the same dollar to support much needed programs and services to members of our community? We step up our game.

In 2012, the Hult Center for Healthy Living saw an increase in services of 18% from the year before. We are excited to say we are on the same pace again in 2013. But we can’t continue to grow without the support of our giving business community, friends, neighbors and volunteers. The competition is fierce and we have accepted the challenge to offer not only top notch programs and services, but to also fundraise and deliver events to remember as our way of saying thank you. We are going to have some fun these next couple of months.

September 14 at Weaver Angus Farm for The Lobster Roast of Patti Bash with NFL Quarterbacks, Jim McMahon and Jeff George. We guarantee a night of laughter, amazement and fun with entertainment, local Roasters and many surprises throughout. September 28 for Recovery Walks! along the Proctor campus to celebrate recovery in motion one step at a time. Bring the whole family for a great afternoon.October 5 at Peoria Marriott Hotel Pere Marquette for A Night with the Hit King Pete Rose. Enjoy dinner, the largest live and silent sports auction and a chance to get up close and per-sonal with Pete Rose himself. October 18 at Embassy Suites for Uncorked! the HOTTEST wine and food tasting in town. We’re bringing the Vegas night club to Peoria and will be partying like celebrities.

For more information about our events, to get involved and learn more about our programs and services visit us at www.hulthealthy.org or 309.692.6650.
