Gala

Get comfortable, find your table and seats, get a beverage at the cash bar and enjoy hand delivered appetizers. Make sure to stop by our complimentary wine and cheese pairing experience. Stop by The Altruistic American table for some swag and 50/50 raffle tickets!

Take your seats and get ready for a feast that's fit for a king! Salmon, Chicken, sides, and all the fixens! Enjoy a glass of complimentary wine at your table while you wait for dinner service. 

Please help us celebrate our accomplishments over the last 12 months as well as honor some of the amazing people and organizations that are instrumental to the success of our mission.

Get ready for some amazing music from two local up and coming bands that will be sure to send us dancing into the evening hours! 

Please remember to be responsible, you can get a room at The Best Western Plus through a special room block we have reserved for Gala attendees. If you partake in adult beverages and decide to leave, please utilize ride sharing services or an old fashion cab.
