Onward's Inaugural Gala Fundraiser will be hosted by the generous donation of the Craddock Terry Hotel and Event Space in downtown Lynchburg, VA. We are partnering with this outstanding hotel because of our similar values of community and service. Our event will take place on May 21st at 5pm and will include a dinner prepared by a world renowned chef. A photographer will be on site for professional photos of our guests and to remember the special occasion. 

An online silent auction will be launched prior to the event and continue throughout the event with the auction items displayed in the event space. The auction will culminate with the winners announced at the end of the event. A couple of fun raffle items will also be at the event. Local and regional businesses generously donate the items so all monies raised go directly back into our organization. 

We have over 25 parent voluneers working behind the scenes to procure donations and sponsorships. Our board members, building committee and fundraising team are working together to make this fundraiser a success.
