The Purple Halo Gala, our 2nd Annual Gala fundraiser supporting the victims of domestic and sexual violence, will take place on Thursday, October 26th, 2023, at the Historic Black Knight. We need your support! We are seeking sponsors, donations of goods, and gift certificates from merchants in our community.
This fundraiser is a Masquerade, Gala style party, featuring food, drinks and entertainment by DJ Nabyz. We will also hear the true story of Angie Pye’s experiences.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the AWAY Gala, and in doing so, support our communities! We will be using our website, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, in addition to email marketing to advertise the Gala and thank supporters.
