AHIP 50th Anniversary House Party

Registration ends Wednesday, 09/30/2026 8:00pm EDT

About This Event

2026 has marked 50 years of AHIP serving our neighbors in need, with over 5,000 homes preserved across half a century of service! Now, we'd love nothing more than to celebrate that occasion with the supporters who've made it possible.

This October, join us at the Wool Factory here in Charlottesville as we ring in the occasion with a returning favorite: the AHIP House Party!

The event will feature catered food from the Wool Factory, along with keynote speeches from AHIP leadership, client testimonials, and a showcase of the work that our community has made possible through tireless advocacy!

Ticket Types (Individuals vs. Sponsorships)

If you choose to buy a ticket, you'll be prompted to choose between standard ticketing, and sponsorship packages. Here's a quick overview of the differences:

Individual Tickets

If you're just looking to attend for the evening and have a great time with no extra to-dos, this is your pick! You can buy tickets both for yourself and friends/family (and have the latter emailed directly to your additional attendees).

Each ticket costs $175 per person and grants you full access to all of the event's amenities, including dinner from our hosts at the Wool Factory!
