Fox Valley Hands of Hope's 21st annual Garden Party fundraising event - featuring silent and live auctions, a bevy of showcase raffles, entertainment, and a full luncheon - will be held Monday, June 10, at the Q Center, 1405 N. Fifth Ave., St. Charles. Tickets are $75.

More than 700 are expected for the June fundraising luncheon extravaganza, which is to be emceed by St. Charles Mayor Ray Rogina.

"We're delighted and honored to have Mayor Rogina join us again this year as our program emcee," said Gayle Deja-Schultz, director of development for Fox Valley Hands of Hope. "Last year's Garden Party treated hundreds of attendees to more than 130 silent auction items, breathtaking showcases for lucky raffle winners, a live auction and more - and we're planning this year's event to be even more spectacular."
