Empowering Through Employment and Housing
Join us for VanderFEST 2025, Vanderheyden’s annual fundraiser and celebration of impact. This inspiring evening brings together community leaders, advocates, and supporters for a night of connection, music, and purpose—all in support of youth transitioning out of foster care. Together, we can empower the next generation—one job, one home, and one life at a time.
Guests will enjoy:
- 🎶 Live music from DJ Vinny Vin
- 🎨 Personalized portraits by our live caricature artist
- 🧡 Powerful stories of transformation from those we serve
- 🏡 A collective effort to support housing and employment opportunities for youth in care
Your attendance helps build brighter futures by funding safe housing and job training for young people aging out of foster care. Every ticket brings us one step closer to hope, stability, and independence for those who need it most.
Let’s make a difference—and have fun doing it.
