Tickets now available for annual Hands4Hope celebration, fundraiser Sept. 13
Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference invites you to celebrate summer at the highly anticipated 5th Annual Endless Summer Beach Party on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM at the Serrano Village Green Amphitheater in El Dorado Hills.
This adults-only event promises an unforgettable evening filled with live music, dancing, great food, and community spirit—all in support of Hands4Hope’s youth leadership and service-learning programs. Guests will enjoy a tropical-inspired dinner from Off the Vine Catering, local wine and beer, and high-energy live music from Clean Slate, the ultimate 10-piece show band playing hits from the last five decades.
Returning to emcee this year’s festivities is beloved local personality Eileen Javora Boeger. The evening will feature a professional live auction led by Eric Johnson, with exclusive offerings including a golf package, vacations in private condos and cabins, and an in-home dinner for 10 prepared by celebrity sushi chef Taro Arai of Mikuni Japanese Restaurant.
The evening will also include exciting raffles, beach-themed games, and a robust silent auction. The silent auction will be hosted online, allowing supporters to bid from anywhere—whether or not they attend the event. Featuring dozens of enticing packages at various price points, the auction includes everything from local restaurant and business gift cards to classes, getaways, and one-of-a-kind experiences. The silent auction opens on September 8 and closes the evening of the event on September 13.
“Endless Summer Beach Party is more than a celebration—it’s a way for our community to come together to inspire and empower youth in leadership and service,” said Jennifer Bassett, Founder and Executive Director at Hands4Hope. “All proceeds from the evening directly support our hands-on, youth-led service-learning projects, community engagement, and leadership opportunities.”
In addition to the event, the organization is concurrently hosting a “Rescue from the Mermaid’s Spell” campaign, featuring hilarious and heartfelt stories from local community members and supporters, all trying to meet their individual fundraising goals to be “freed” from the grasp of a mermaid. All donations to this campaign are doubled, thanks to matching sponsors.
Altogether, the Endless Summer Beach Party, silent auction, and mermaid rescue campaign aims to raise 30 percent of the organization’s annual budget.
Tickets are available through Sunday, September 7 at hands4hopeyouth.org/endlesssummer. Individual tickets are $110, a pair of tickets is $165, or a group of 6 is $400. No tickets will be sold at the door.
