GOLDEN GALA


GOLDEN GALA History

The GOLDEN GALA is a joint effort of The Home and Auxiliary. Proceeds from the GALA are “earmarked” for specific programs or services that bring added quality to the lives of our residents. The success of the GALA has contributed to the support of several staff positions, featured program and services, and building renovations over the years. Recently, GALA proceeds contributed to the renovation of the Home’s lobby and additional private gathering areas for family members and their guests.

This major fundraising event is only possible due to the:

• Dedicated committee at work planning this outstanding evening
• Generous support of our sponsors
• Participation by members of our community

The GOLDEN GALA is an integral part of our history because it demonstrates the excitement and generosity that our community and sponsors bring together to support our residents and the care of the community’s elderly and disabled.
