LAKE FOREST COUNTRY CLUB

Hudson Community First invites you to our premier fundraising event to benefit programming in support of mental wellness, leadership opportunities, and drug and alcohol prevention initiatives for all Hudson youth.

Enjoy delicious food, desserts, complimentary wine and select craft beer, and live jazz from The Canterbury Trio. Plus, you'll have the chance to book a live portrait session with A Little After Nine (details below).

Bid from your smartphone!

Go online to Toast2026.givesmart.com the week prior to the event to see all of the amazing auction offerings

The live portrait experience gives you a chance to walk away with a unique, treasured keepsake while also supporting Hudson Community First.

Watch as an A Little After Nine artist creates 5x7 portraits on-site throughout the evening. (See example portrait on left.)

Don't worry, you don't have to sit for your portrait. Portraits are created from photographs taken upon arrival at the Toast to Hudson.

Only 50 portrait spots are available and each portrait can include between 1-4 guests. Any portraits not completed by the end of the evening will be shipped directly to the purchaser.

Portraits spots are available for $50 each and can be purchased with your ticket or at the event (if not sold out!).
