Description

Our largest and most important fundraising event of the year, this year’s event will feature cocktails and delectable plates, a silent auction, unique entertainment offerings, desserts, and dancing—all for a very important cause.

Items featured in our auction are seen by more than 200 attendees including local business, community, and government leaders, and will be featured in promotional efforts and dedicated recognition.

By lending your name and participation to our Anniversary Gala, GSH will be able to provide over 500 families and individuals with a fresh start toward stable housing. 

Over ten years ago, Alisa came to us through a referral from a women’s shelter. She was a survivor of domestic violence and had three young children living with her. We were able to place her in one of our affordable two-bedroom units, giving her children space to not only heal, but to thrive. During their time with us, community support has ensured her children always had a brand-new backpack each school year filled with supplies. Thanks to stable housing and a safe environment, her eldest daughter graduated from high school last year and has a bright future. 

We're counting on your support to make this evening successful, so that we may continue to help clients like Alisa.  For your convenience, we have enclosed an auction donation form with this letter. Thank you for your consideration in supporting the GSH 50th Anniversary Gala.
