A community open house fundraiser called Christmas for Cora will be held Saturday December 13 2025 at Sultan's Run Golf Course in Jasper, offering a spaghetti dinner live music and family activities to raise money for the Hopf family. The event matters because it highlights how local residents and businesses are stepping in to cover medical expenses that many families face and it provides a direct way for Dubois County residents to help.
A community fundraiser called Christmas for Cora will take place Saturday December 13 2025 at Sultan's Run Golf Course 1490 N. Meridian Road in Jasper from 11 00 a.m. to 2 00 p.m. The open house event is open to all and will direct all proceeds to the Hopf family to help cover medical costs for their youngest daughter Cora. Dinners can be reserved online at the event form and individual meal tickets are priced at $20 with payment accepted at the door.
Organizers say the event will feature a spaghetti dinner with gluten free options live music performed by Chris Dixon a silent auction with numerous donated items pictures with Santa a bake sale a hot chocolate bar kids crafts cookie decorating and even dog treat decorating. Local businesses and individuals donated items for the silent auction and volunteers will run the various stations during the midday event.
For residents seeking more information or to reserve meals the organizer can be reached by phone at 812 719 2955. The event is an immediate opportunity for neighbors to contribute financially while participating in a family oriented program that includes entertainment and activities for children and pets.
Beyond the direct benefit to the Hopf family the fundraiser illustrates broader issues about healthcare affordability and the role of community based responses in filling gaps. When medical expenses prompt local fundraisers elected officials and nonprofit leaders may see heightened civic engagement and calls for policy changes related to access to care and financial assistance programs. For voters this kind of visible community support can shape conversations around local priorities as well as expectations of institutions tasked with supporting vulnerable families.
The event offers Dubois County residents a way to provide tangible assistance and to observe how local nonprofit and volunteer networks mobilize in support of a single family. Attendance and donations will determine the immediate financial relief provided to the Hopf family and signal the community's capacity to respond to medical need.
