No Gala Gala
You did something amazing!
We asked you to stay home for The No Gala Gala and do something amazing—and you did!
Gifts are still coming in, but I had to share the exciting news that The No Gala Gala has so far raised $100,000 – enough to make 47 Dreams come true over the coming months!
Thank you to all of our incredible sponsors and in-kind sponsors, to all of you who purchased an Opportunity Drawing ticket or bid on an auction item, and to everyone who made a gift.
Thanks to your compassionate support, someone is going to hear that their final Dream has been granted very soon.
We are so grateful to have you as part of our compassionate community!
