Making Dreams Come True Gala - Update, Photos and Thank you!
Thank you for Making Dreams Come True!!!
Balance’s 3rd Annual Gala was an unforgettable evening dedicated to the 25 residents of our Adult Family Homes. We were thrilled to welcome around 265 guests at Shully’s Cuisine and Events on Thursday, October 3. The night was filled with delicious food, inspiring stories, and a sense of community that truly warmed our hearts.
This year, we had the honor of recognizing two outstanding individuals:
Linda Wolfgram – Philanthropy Award
Jordan Luhr – Legacy Award
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Linda and Jordan for their contributions to Balance and the impact they’ve made on our mission.
We also celebrated with the winners of our Cash Raffle and the Wheelbarrow of Booze Raffle. Congratulations to:
· Wendy Diaz (Cash Raffle)
· David Steck (Wheelbarrow of Booze Raffle)
A huge thank you to everyone who participated!
And now… drumroll please… we are excited to announce that, thanks to your incredible generosity, this year’s Gala was a record-breaking success! Through sponsorships, ticket and table purchases, raffles, live and silent auctions, and direct donations, we raised over $193,000 to support our Adult Family Homes.
THANK YOU to all our sponsors, guests, volunteers, auction donors, raffle participants, and cheerleaders. We couldn’t have done it without you. Your belief in our mission enables Balance to not only provide a home for our residents but also a place where their dreams can come true.
We hope you enjoy this special “music video” as a thank you from the residents:
