The Black & White Gala is THE event of the year for Grays Harbor and surrounding areas.  With over 400 guests in attendance, this black-tie event includes a 5 course plated dinner prepared and served by 75 plus students from 5 local highschools, silent & live auctions, games and dancing.  We strive to make this event as memorable & extravagant as possible while maximizing profits our our local programs.  In other words, we try to achieve "caviar" on a dollar store budget!  

Why?

1 in 4 people in Grays Harbor are struggling.  United Way is changing this.  We look for every dollar we can to fight for our community.  United, we fight so kids can reach critical milestones.  United, we stand up to support families.  United, we battle educational barriers.  United, we confront the struggles.  United we surround our communities most critical problems, and we fight.  United Way is moving families from poverty to prosperity and with your help, we can create pathways to so many possibilities.  Together we are the hand-raisers.  The game changers.  The stop talking, start doing, band together and take on the impossible taskmasters!
