Butterflies & Wall of Hope
Announcing change in venue from Mitchell Event Center to Grace Chapel in Scottsbuff in 2025
Butterfly Release will take place (weather permitting) after the Live Auction and reading of the names, which will start about 11:00 a.m.
SUBJECT TO CHANGE
According to an American Indian Legend, if anyone desires a wish to come true, they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly cannot reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to the legend, by making a wish and then giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens.
