Southwest Companies President Michael Tomasone with wife Abigail at the 2016 Cornerstone of Hope Annual Benefit
On February 13th, Cornerstone of Hope marked off another energetic year after their 13th Annual Benefit Gala, their most acclaimed and influential fundraiser.
Held at the Embassy Suites in Independence, Ohio, the event consistently brings in more than 700 people eager to aid the center in their crucial mission.
Cornerstone of Hope is a nonprofit organization devoted to enriching the lives of those who are grieving. They provide professional counseling for individuals, as well as training for the extended family members, or even employers, of those coping with loss.
The center works closely with various churches, schools, hospitals, and other groups to assemble supportive resources for bereavement and facilitate a brighter and more fulfilling future for all. Leading their organization with admirable service, they open their home six days a week and offer flexible, affordable care to ensure anyone can receive help when they need it most.
To support their calling, generous guests at this year's gala enjoyed a night of dinner, raffles, grand prizes, a live auction, and more. Vacations and Getaways, event and game tickets, sports memorabilia, electronics, and fine jewelry were just some of the featured items that had everyone buzzing.
As Gold Table Sponsors for this year's event, we at Southwest Companies are proud to support Cornerstone of Hope in their crucial work however we can. Their overwhelming presence has not gone unnoticed, and we'd like to express our deepest gratitude for all they bring to our community.
