Heights Of Hope - Heights of Hope Fest

Soaring Heights: A Recap of the 2025 Heights of Hope Fest
Saturday, April 26, 2025 at Holland Heights Church

The Heights of Hope Fest was an unforgettable celebration!

Thanks to the creativity and care of our incredible Fest Committee, neighbors, and volunteers, our months of dreaming, planning, and pouring our hearts into every detail came to life in the most beautiful way! Kids stepped on stage to perform for the first time, neighbors shared food that’s been passed down through generations, the gallery overflowed with inspiring artwork, and there were too many moments of connection, laughter, and joy to count.

Our community is amazing, and the Fest was a celebration of everything that makes it so. Thank you to everyone who came, performed, created, volunteered, donated, encouraged, shared, prayed, and celebrated with us. You helped create something that felt full of hope, beauty, and belonging.

Silent Auction

How the Buy-a-Line Auction Works

This year, we’re shaking up the silent auction with a fun and simple Buy-a-Line format!

*Each item has a limited number of “lines” available for purchase. (Think of them like limited raffle entries!)

*You can buy one line or several for any item you’d like a chance to win.

*The more lines you buy, the better your chances!

***Online bidding is now closed, but come to the Fest for even more amazing options!

You can buy lines online until Friday at 12:00 PM or in person at the Fest on Saturday, April 26, starting at 1:00 PM. Many of our auction items are available to buy lines for here, but there will be even more exciting items—including lots of homemade baked goods—only available in person at the Fest!

Winners will be drawn either when all lines are purchased or at 3:15 PM during the Fest—whichever comes first. Winners will be posted at the event, but you do not need to be present to win. We’ll contact winners who aren’t there and coordinate prize pickup the following week.

Pictures of some items are below. All proceeds from the auction go directly to support Heights of Hope programs. Thank you for being part of it!
