VNA Fundraisers
Spring Blooms! Fashion Show
- A Benefit for VNA's Janet S. Munt Family Room
This popular springtime event raises important funds for Visiting Nurse Association's Janet S. Munt Family Room. The Family Room is a critical community resource which serves over 200 of Burlington’s most vulnerable families each year. It provides much needed educational activities and services that assist and help strengthen young families. These programs include children’s playgroups, a community garden project, sewing and cooking classes, an accredited pre-school and mothers’ and fathers’ programs.
2007's sold-out event was by far the most successful Spring Blooms! Fashion Show & Luncheon yet! A record 285 guests attended the event that raised over $20,000 for VNA’s Family Room. Fashions were generously provided by SportStyle and Brooks Brothers Factory Store.
For more information about our upcoming April fashion show event, celebrating the Family Room's 20th Anniversary, please check out the VNA Calendar page.

moment from their volunteer duties
at the 2008 event.
The Vermont Respite House 5K Fun Run & Jiggety Jog continues to be the single largest annual fundraiser for the Respite House, Vermont's only Medicare-certified hospice home. Vermont Respite House is a home-away-from-home where terminally ill individuals can live out their remaining days in peace, surrounded by the love of family and friends. Every dollar raised from the Fun Run goes directly toward providing room, board, personal care and special services for residents, regardless of their ability to pay.
In 2008, 300 enthusiastic participant fundraisers, volunteers and spectators came out to support and raise over $50,000 - the most ever - for Vermont Respite House making this the most successful Fun Run & Jiggety Jog in the event’s 18-year history.
Thank you to event sponsors Chittenden Bank, Eley Financial Management, Order of the Eastern Star, MVP Health Care, R.E.M. Development Company, Hannaford Supermarkets, New England Air Systems, The Snyder Companies, Scheer & Hickey, PC, Sterling Construction and Willie Racine's.
