This weekend in Bismarck, ND

Hope Manor Foundation’s Annual Fundraiser Gala celebrates chocolate and community impact with an evening of decadent desserts, spirited auctions, and moving stories of recovery. Attendees will sample chocolate creations from local restaurants, bakeries, and eateries, then cast a vote for their favorite. A friendly faceoff between the Women’s and Men’s Houses returns, with guests deciding who earns bragging rights and a special award. Live music adds to the atmosphere while both live and silent auctions showcase items and packages donated by local businesses. Brief testimonials from participants and alumni share journeys of hope and transformation. This is an adults-only night. Dressy or casual attire are both welcome. Every bid and every taste supports women and men in recovery and strengthens the Bismarck community. Tickets are $25, available starting June 1 in limited quantities, and must be purchased in advance and presented for entry. Purchase options include in person at The Hub, online, or by mail. For questions, call 701-751-4005.
