2026 Garden Party


The Garden Party is our only fundraising event, and we could not do it without our sponsors and donors. Thank you for knowing how important it is for Chore to keep serving the seniors in our thirteen towns by helping them remain safety and independently at home.

Because of your support, our mission continues!

This year’s event will take place at the Home of Jamie Delaney and Michael Cullen

Skiff Mountain Farm
3 West Woods Road, Kent CT

Saturday, June 20, 2026 5:00 – 7:00 PM

We are approaching sponsorship differently this year—focusing on a smaller number of thoughtful partnerships that deliver meaningful community impact and real visibility for your business.

As a sponsor, you may receive:

  • Connection to a highly local, affluent, community-minded audience

  • Recognition on website and communications

  • Visibility at the Garden Party and related events

  • Social media promotion throughout the year

CHORE fills everyday gaps - transportation, meals, and companionship - that make independence possible. Sometimes CHORE is the difference between a client staying at home and having to leave it.

Please consider partnering with us as a sponsor.
