DESCRIPTION:Embrace the power of art and community as we come together for the Emily’s Hope Art Show & Auction\, one of our organization’s most cherished fundraisers. This remarkable event celebrates the life and creative spirit of Emily Groth\, a prolific painter whose life was cut short. We are also honored to feature the extraordinary talents of local and regional artists\, who have generously contributed their work to support the mission of Emily’s Hope – stopping stigma\, saving lives. \nJoin us for an inspiring evening at Canopy by Hilton Sioux Falls Downtown. The event will feature live art production\, a silent and live auction showcasing local and regional artists’ work and tempting packages from local businesses. Plus\, a delectable dinner and engaging program. \nThe battle against addiction remains an enormous challenge\, with over 103\,451 lives lost to overdoses last year – that’s an average of 283 deaths daily. With your generous support\, we aim to change this narrative one life at a time. By attending this event\, you are helping us make a significant impact on individuals and families affected by substance use disorder. \nTickets & Tables
