We are currently seeking Hosts and Sponsors

for our 9th Annual High Tea

Interfaith invites you to raise a cup and make a difference as a Host for our High Tea Benefit!  Become a champion for our Homeless Shelter Program (serving homeless women, children and families), by hosting a table or through sponsorship. There’s no fee to host, but tables are limited!

​

Exciting changes from last year!

• We welcomed men to join us as table hosts, which made it a more inclusive event.

• We moved inside the Ocala UF Extension Auditorium.  We had plenty of beautiful space and it seemed like we were outdoors with the spacious windows and garden panoramas featured on all the surrounding screens.

• We increased the length of the event, so everyone had a chance to relax and catch up with friends among the beautifully decorated tables.  

• Larger (72" round) tables were a bonus and fit up to 10 ladies.

 

Be a Host and Help Your Community

• Gather up to 9 of your friends, unleash your inner decorators, and create a beautifully themed table.

• We provide the tables, chairs and food, along with a complete ‘how to’ guide with all the details.

• A meet and greet event will be held April 2nd for all the Hosts to go over the event and ask any questions.

• There’s a Happy Hour Party the evening before the tea on May 16th from 5pm – 7:30pm so that tables can be set up in advance.

• Fuel your fundraising spirit! Challenge your table to raise a minimum of $500, with a goal of at least $1,000. The most successful table will be crowned with the prestigious Golden Teapot Award.
