CHF Annual Fall Dinner

The Evening

A gala gathering for local health

The Fall Dinner and Silent Auction brings together the foundation's supporters and Board of Directors for a shared evening of dinner, auction bidding and entertainment.

At the 2012 Fall Dinner and Silent Auction, nearly 200 guests and volunteers gathered at Huikko's Bison Event Center in Buffalo, MN, opening a wish list of 100 auction items donated by several businesses and friends of the foundation. The silent auction items alone raised nearly $11,000 that year.

Proceeds from the dinner support the foundation's work in Wright County, including the Lakeside Oasis end-of-life comfort care wing at Lake Ridge Care Center.

The Community Health Foundation of Wright County relies on the dedication and vision of its Board of Directors to guide meaningful health initiatives across the region. These community-minded individuals bring diverse expertise and a shared passion for improving quality of life, helping to shape projects that address local needs. Through thoughtful governance and strategic planning, the board ensures that every effort aligns with the foundation's mission of creating healthier, safer, and better-informed communities. Their volunteer leadership sets the tone for the foundation's work, inspiring others to get involved through donations, event participation, and hands-on service that strengthens the fabric of Wright County.

Behind every successful foundation project is a team of directors committed to transparency, collaboration, and long-term impact. Board members work closely with staff, volunteers, and community partners to identify pressing health challenges and develop sustainable solutions. From supporting hospice and comfort care initiatives to organizing fundraising events that bring residents together, the directors champion causes that touch lives across the county. Their steady guidance ensures that resources are used wisely and that the foundation remains a trusted force for positive change, building a legacy of wellness and compassion for generations to come.
