Kendall Auto Group had the honor of partnering with Furnish Hope for their annual CHAIRitable fundraiser, an inspiring evening that raised over $365,000 in support of families in our community. It was also a milestone moment, as guests stepped inside Furnish Hope’s new building for the very first time, offering a glimpse into the future of the organization’s impact. We are incredibly proud to support Furnish Hope and their mission, and this year’s event gave us the opportunity to bring that partnership to life in a new way.

In collaboration with Slumberkins, Kendall introduced a preview of the Kendall Kids Corner—an upcoming space that will live within Furnish Hope’s new facility once the doors open for Furnish Hope families and the community. Designed to support children and families, this dedicated area will feature tools that foster comfort, connection, and emotional well-being.

At CHAIRitable, guests were able to experience a sneak peek of what’s to come, including Slumberkins plush toys, books, and emotional learning activities that will be part of the space full time. It’s a small corner with a big purpose: helping children feel safe, supported, and at home.

Another highlight of the evening was the creation of “Welcome Home” bags, made possible by generous donor sponsorships. These bags will be given to families with children as Furnish Hope delivers furniture, adding an extra layer of care during a significant life transition.

Each bag includes a Slumberkins plush, a matching book, and a Heart-to-Heart kit, thoughtfully designed to support comfort and connection. Families will receive one of three Slumberkins characters, each with its own meaningful message:

On behalf of Kendall Cares, we extend a heartfelt thank you to the donors who sponsored the Welcome Home bags and helped bring this initiative to life. Your generosity will have a direct and lasting impact on local families.

Congratulations to Furnish Hope on an incredible evening and the successful launch of their new space. And a special thank you to Slumberkins for their partnership and shared commitment to supporting children and families in such a thoughtful way. We are excited for what’s ahead and proud to be part of a community that continues to show up, give back, and create meaningful change—together.
