Events

Though the care of our residents requires much hard work from our resident director and volunteers, Matthew House recognizes the need for some fun throughout the year! These annual events raise awareness about our mission and core values, as well as raise funds for the operating costs of the house. Board members recognize volunteers with dinners and luncheons on an annual basis to show their appreciation for such dedication and commitment to the residents of Matthew House.

Casino Night

The Casino Night Fundraiser is in its 7th year and has become a great source of revenue for Matthew House. The event is held at The Lodge at Welch Allyn, in Skaneateles, NY, the last Friday in January. Tickets for the event include food, bar, games and entertainment. The Lodge is transformed into a Casino and has Black Jack tables, Craps tables, roulette wheels and more. Chips are traded in for raffle tickets to win donated items from community businesses at the end of the evening. A Silent Auction and Live Auction are also an integral part of the night.

Annual Cocktail Party

The first Friday night of August has become a "Cocktail Party" evening for Matthew House. This event takes place in Auburn and includes a lovely catered menu, music and silent auction. This has become a great fundraiser for Matthew House and the Auburn community and continues to be an evening enjoyed by all.

Volunteer Events

Matthew House recognizes the countless volunteers who graciously offer their time and service to our grateful residents. We honor these volunteers at annual luncheons and covered dish dinners throughout the year. The events are a wonderful time for gathering and celebrating the accomplishments of our volunteers.

Father’s Day Car Show

The Father’s Day Car Show raises awareness and donations to benefit Matthew House on an annual basis. We appreciate the generosity of the community and the overwhelming support of our donors.
