The annual Soraparu Soirée benefiting Raphael Village is the biggest fundraiser of the year. On this night, friends come together in the beautifully renovated and historic Bond Bakery building located on Soraparu Street. This fun-filled evening includes live music, a delicious buffet, gourmet libations, a silent auction, and a raffle.

Raphael Village would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all of our sponsors and patrons of the 9th Annual Soraparu Soirée! We give special thanks to our honoree and title sponsor, David Schulingkamp.
This year the COVID-19 outbreak prevented us from coming together in person. We adapted by hosting our first ever online auction and raffle. We would like to acknowledge those who participated in our auction, purchased raffle tickets, or made direct donations.
In spite of these difficult times, you all joined together and chose to support us. For that, we are certainly honored and humbled. With your support we were able to raise $60,000 for the ongoing operations or Raphael Village!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You all are appreciated! Without you, this event would not be possible.
We are looking forward to being together again in the near future.
Thank You to Our Generous Sponsors
