The Board of Directors and administration of Eden Home created a policy, whereby no resident is ever asked to leave because they are no longer able to afford their care. In February 2002, Eden Home held its first Champagne Gala. That gala and subsequent galas have featured a silent auction, fabulous hors d’oeuvres, complimentary champagne and an outstanding gourmet meal prepared by the renowned Eden Home Dietary Staff. The Moonlight Express Band of Austin, Texas, entertains guests with the sounds of big band music. The purpose of the Gala is to generate funds for the Benevolence Fund, which assists those residents who have outlived their resources. The 2006 Champagne Gala raised approximately $30,000 for the Benevolence Fund.
