Thanks to our sponsors, donors, and guests, 2023 WinterFall | A Night of Giving benefiting Lee’s Place was an incredible success!

 

SAVE-THE-DATE for 2024 WinterFall | A Night of Giving featuring the Kingdom of Sweets, Thursday | November 21 | 2024!

WINTERFALL | A NIGHT OF GIVING featuring the KIngdom of Sweets, is Tallahassee’s premier social event that launches the start of the holiday season. Led by a team of dedicated community volunteers, funds raised through WinterFall directly benefit individuals and families served by Lee’s Place – a non-profit counseling center specializing in grief, loss, and trauma – across the Big Bend Region. 

Held in the beautiful gardens at Esposito’s, this winter wonderland setting features our Capital City’s finest food, libations, entertainment by Tobacco Rd Band, a live auction and much more! The holiday season and its offerings bring with it the sights, sounds & smells that evoke memories of family, fun and the traditions we cherish this time of year. You will not want to miss this festive affair!

 

Why WinterFall?

We believe in creating a better world for children, teens and families.

Together we can be catalysts for change.

Lee’s Place was founded in 2000 by Dr. Brenda Rabalais in memory of her son who died at age 14 from bone cancer. Following that life changing experience, the idea and passion to honor Lee and to help others in our community was born. A licensed therapist, Dr. Rabalais created a center where people can receive quality, therapeutic services in a warm and nurturing environment.
 
Services provided by Lee’s Place address the broad spectrum of grief, loss, and trauma. These include: divorce, abandonment (foster care, adoption, service families), abuse, suicide, homicide, crime, loss of functionality, loss of home or job, long-term illnesses, other life transitions, as well as death.
 

Your support of WinterFall will help Lee’s Place provide quality therapy to adults, children, and families, regardless of their financial circumstances, who are coping with loss, trauma, and life changing experiences, while offering specialized training and education to the community.

*Lee’s Place is a 501c3 tax-exempt charitable organization.
