75^th Anniversary Gala a success

On Thursday, October 26, the Barbara Olson Center of Hope 75th Anniversary Gala was held at the Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront. More than 160 guests attended. The night included entertainment by Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos and Center of Hope Choir, Silent Auction, and keynote speaker “Famous” Dave Anderson. The Gala raised more than $67,000.
