Description
At Family Matters, we have been working to close the education gap, cultivate resilient leaders, and strengthen community relationships for more than three decades. Family Matters’ Annual Gala is a joy-filled party celebrating our supporters, our participants, and our accomplishments! With the community by our side, we have set a goal of raising $150,000 to support our Youth Development programs, The Family Matters School, and our community engagement work.
On Friday, May 19th, more than 300 guests will gather at Evanston’s newly renovated PALMHOUSE to support Family Matters through a Silent Auction and “Changemaker” Paddle Raise. Experience has shown us that the Silent Auction typically brings in 40% of the evening’s revenue.
