Help Us Build Something Incredible
Do you know a business, artist, or brand that would love some Abbott House love this fall?
We’re already hard at work building an incredible silent auction lineup, but we’d appreciate your help identifying additional businesses, artists, and brands that might be willing to donate an item or experience.
Every donation supports children, families, and adults with complex needs across the Hudson Valley. It’s for a great cause (us!), and donations are tax-deductible.
If you know someone who might like to help, please send them our way. Donation forms are due October 2.

Gems of Mexico
White sand, warm breeze, and a well-earned escape. One lucky raffle winner at this year's Loving Arms Awards and Dinner Dance will win a seven-night getaway to Mexico!
Raffle tickets go toward supporting Abbott House's programs for children, families, and adults with complex needs — so it's a win-win either way. You do not have to be present to win.
Here are the details:
Escape to Mexico for a seven-night stay at your choice of two beautiful Mayan Palace resort destinations. Choose Riviera Maya, with its Caribbean beaches, lush tropical surroundings, Jungala Aqua Experience, and Cirque du Soleil JOYÀ; or Nuevo Vallarta, where the Pacific Coast meets the beautiful Riviera Nayarit, with expansive pools and water attractions, championship golf, and the new Cirque du Soleil LUDÕ at VidantaWorld.
And to help get you there, your prize package also includes a $500 American Airlines gift card to use toward airfare and a gift card to cover resort fees and incidentals at the destination property.
