As our signature fundraiser, the Glow Gala is a significant source of revenue for our
organization and, as important, an opportunity to gather our community to celebrate our work, the successes realized, and the partners, funders, programs, and participants who have helped make it possible. This year, we are thrilled to return to an in-person event
format at the historic Everett Mills building,located at 15 Union Street in Lawrence, with breathtaking views of the city. We will once again come together to celebrate the achievements of the last year. With an anticipated attendance of 225, we will share our successes such as the completion of a project to plant 2,800 trees in Greater Lawrence (for a total of 4,000+ trees planted since 2007), our abiding commitment to activating green
spaces, our growing youth mentorship and employment program, and our food access/
equity work with our urban farm, community gardens, and farmers market (that realized
more than $333,000 of HIP/SNAP sales this year). Glow Gala will, as always, allow us
to come together to celebrate the community with whom we work to change places, change  lives, and change systems.
