You’re Invited!
Haven Acres Flannel Gala
Saturday, March 1st, 2025
5:00-8:00pm
Celebration Church in Lakeville
Join us for our 5th Annual Flannel Gala!
This year’s theme is “Planting Seeds of Hope Together.” At Haven Acres, we’re dedicated to offering God’s hope to hurting and at-risk kids and teens in the south Twin Cities. Many of these young people are facing deep struggles, and Haven Acres is one of the only places they can come—completely free of charge—to experience the unconditional love of Jesus through our horses and mentors.
The Flannel Gala is the perfect opportunity to learn about the incredible work God is doing at Haven Acres. Together, we’ll explore the history of our ministry, have a silent auction, watch touching videos of sessions, and hear powerful, tear-jerking testimonies of lives transformed. You’ll also enjoy a delicious meal, participate in a fun game, and get to know more about our amazing Haven Acres horses!
We need your help to spread the word! Invite your friends so they, too, can hear about Haven Acres and consider partnering with us to bring hope to more young lives. Our goal is to raise $40,000 towards the annual program budget!
To learn more or to register, visit www.havenacresmn.org/gala.
This is not a formal dress event. Wear jeans and a flannel!
As much as we love kids, this event is geared towards adults.
ASL interpretation will be available upon request.
Let’s plant seeds of hope together—see you there!
