2024 Black & White Gala

On the evening of March 1, our community came together for a spectacular event – the Black & White Gala. The ambiance was nothing short of elegant, with guests dressed to the nines in their finest black and white attire. The night was filled with excitement as attendees had the opportunity to participate in both live and silent auctions, bidding on a variety of exclusive items and experiences. The energy was palpable as bids went up, all in support of a great cause.The gala also featured live music that set the perfect backdrop for the evening. Delicious food and a signature drink added to the festivities, tantalizing the taste buds of all who attended. The art gallery showcased stunning pieces from our artist-clients, showcasing their talent and hard word. It was a night filled with laughter, joy, and a sense of community as we came together to celebrate and raise funds for a meaningful purpose.
