After careful consideration regarding low ticket sales, Home of the Sparrow has decided to cancel the annual Celebration of Women Luncheon on Friday, June 11th, 2021. It’s been a very difficult and challenging year for everyone, and many people are still not comfortable gathering inside due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Although this wonderful event is canceled for 2021, please join us at our upcoming annual Oktoberfest Charity Golf Scramble on Monday, September 13th, 2021. Our Golf Scramble with tee times includes a round of golf with cart, fun contests, grilled lunch, free beer and a fabulous auction! The winning foursome takes home the Traveling Trophy for the year! Registration is still open at www.HOSparrow.org/oktoberfest-golf-outing-2021. If you have any questions about upcoming events and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Events and Program Manager, Jennifer Kolarczyk at JKolarczyk@hosparrow.org or call 815-271-5444 x224.
