Maria Center : Independent Living

Thank You for Making Our First Annual High Tea a Beautiful Success

Maria Center extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make our first annual High Tea Fundraiser a truly special occasion. Whether you attended, made a donation, or sponsored the event, your support plays a vital role in helping us provide independent senior living in a faith-filled, supportive environment.

Held at The Center at Donaldson, the High Tea welcomed residents, Poor Handmaid Sisters, and guests from across the community for an elegant afternoon of tea, conversation, and connection. Together, we enjoyed sweet treats, shared meaningful moments, and raised funds to support the daily programs and services that make Maria Center feel like home for our residents.

A highlight of the day was the selection of 18 beautifully curated raffle baskets, generously donated by friends and supporters. The joy and energy in the room reflected the deep care our community has for the mission of Maria Center and the seniors we serve.

We are grateful to our sponsors, volunteers, and all who helped bring this event to life. Your generosity helps ensure that our residents continue to thrive with dignity, purpose, and companionship.

We are already looking forward to hosting this event again next year and continuing this new tradition with you.
