With over 350 guests in attendance, Our House’s 30th Birthday celebration, Cocktails, Confetti & Cake, generated close to $275,000 – 10% more than the goal!
The program started off with a welcome by the night’s emcee and advisory council member, Jovita Moore. Board Chair, Adele Gipson, introduced gala honoree, Stephanie Blank, and presented her with an award for her service and dedication to vulnerable children and her support of Our House.
After Blank’s remarks, Our House President and CEO, Tyese Lawyer, made brief remarks and attendees viewed a moving video presentation about the impact of Our House (view below). The live auction and fund-a-need drew spirited participation and contributed to the success of the evening.
Our House Board Member, Brendan Branon, had this to say about the event and our honoree, “Stephanie Blank was an inspiring honoree and speaker – her speech was a great call to action and I know resonated with our guests. Great way to start off 2018!”
Our House would like to extend a special thank you to our presenting sponsor, The Coca-Cola Company as well as all of our gala sponsors, patrons and hosts. We also want to recognize the Gala Chair, Emily Hertz, and the entire Gala Committee for their hard work.
