Giving in the Garden
This intimate gathering is designed for our most dedicated donors and takes place at stunning garden venues. Guests enjoy wine, beer, hors d’oeuvres, a live auction, and a “fund-a-need” opportunity, alongside a brief update on Hospice East Bay’s programs and services. In the lead-up to the event, we engage with over 1,000 donors through print materials and social media campaigns. As a ticketed event, Giving in the Garden also provides valuable networking opportunities with like-minded individuals and business owners. Our Giving in the Garden event will be held on Sunday, June 29, 2025 at The Gardens at Heather Farms.
Tree of Lights
Each November and December we host multiple Tree of Lights ceremonies across Contra Costa and Alameda counties. These gatherings allow donors to dedicate a light on a tree in memory of a loved one, whose name is then read aloud during the ceremony. Many ceremonies include a pre-event reception with refreshments and light bites, providing an opportunity for guests to connect and reflect. Vendors are welcome to set up tables, share promotional materials, and engage directly with attendees. Attendance at each ceremony ranges from 50 to 150 participants, and our promotional mailer reaches over 3,000 community members. As a free, non-ticketed event, the Tree of Lights is open to all who wish to honor and remember their loved ones.

Our Legacy Luncheon event is scheduled for Tuesday, July 29, 2025 at Massimo Ristorante in Walnut Creek.
