The Cove Center for Grieving Children is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide “hope and healing” for children and teens who have experienced the death of a loved one or significant person in their lives.  The Cove provides programming, support and education to help them find resiliency and healing in the face of profound loss. 

The Cove is proud to be celebrating yet another year of service to the grieving children of Connecticut at our 13th Annual Gala Fundraiser, and we hope that you will consider lending your support to our efforts through sponsorship, donations or attendance at Hope Night 2017: The Art of Resilience.  This year’s gala will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the beautiful Farmington Gardens, 999 Farmington Avenue, Farmington, CT 06032.

We hope you can join us as we celebrate the great strides that we have made throughout our 22-year history and help to support Cove programming statewide.  Hope Night 2017 will offer our guests fine food, live and silent auctions, as well as entertainment in a beautiful, friendly and welcoming environment - with special Guest of Honor, Joe Furey, Chief Meteorologist for FOX NEWS CT and CBS Radio Hartford, CT.

 Your support will ensure that our services at our 7 Cove Family Sites, Community Outreach, Cove in Schools programming and Camp Erin Connecticut are available to the children and families that we are so honored to serve. Our 7 Cove family sites are located in New Haven, Meriden, East Hartford, Easton, Stonington, West Hartford and Guilford.
