    Pink in the Night
    Pink lights at the Bell Tower
    Pink in the Night is a month-long cancer-awareness campaign in October. It includes El Dorado County businesses illuminating their storefronts with strands of pink lights (provided by Images of Hope) symbolizing the community's united fight against cancer.

    Images of Hope will also install a piece of "All Colors All Cancers" themed artwork downtown at the Bell Tower designed and fabricated by Andrew Vonderschmitt.

    In addition, our Cabinet Member Mary Bist has created and placed pink ribbons along Highway 50!

    Make sure you come downtown during October to see the pink lights, the pink ribbons, and the art installation at the Bell Tower!
    Banners on Parade

    Starting in 2023, Images of Hope produces the annual Banners on Parade in Placerville. There are local artist-created canvas banners attached to the light poles on Main Street from June-October. There are Keepsakes available to purchase your favorite banner image and the banners will be auctioned off in an online auction from 10/16/23 to 10/26/23.

    See more about Banners on Parade here.

    Garden Party in the Orchard
    The Garden Party in the Orchard is Images of Hope’s annual fundraiser. In 2023, it was hosted at the picturesque Rainbow Orchards on Apple Hill. Guests and supporters this year enjoyed an idyllic Spring Evening with great food, local wines, music, and a sneak peek at the 2023 Banners on Parade entries.

    • Spring Cuisine was provided by the celebrated John Sanders of Old Town Grill with Dessert from the Donut Queen herself, Christa Campbell of Rainbow Orchards.
    • Deb Smith and Friends; Hugh Hoeger and Eric Hill, provided musical entertainment. Live and Silent Auction opportunities were happening throughout the evening.
    • A special treat was hats for the ladies! What’s a Garden Party without hats? We had a large assortment of small clip-on/headband hats.

    A huge thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, board members, and, of course, all who attended this great event!

    Put next year's Images of Hope El Dorado fundraiser on your calendar now! It will be on June 1, 2024!
