Counting Down
We are counting down to our grand Gala celebration, with less than a month before we put on our finest and come together at our beautiful venue, A’BULAE, to celebrate the past, present, and future of Gilda’s Club Minnesota. You don’t want to miss this celebration! If you haven’t reserved your spot, there’s still time to do so. Visit GCMN10.GiveSmart.com to purchase tickets, purchase a table, or sign up to participate in the virtual silent auction. Let’s come together and make a positive impact on those impacted by cancer and plant seeds for growth in the years to come!
Not able to make it? That’s okay. There are other ways to help and support Gilda’s Club. You can make a gift online or contact Gina Parker, Development Associate, and she can share all the ways to give and support Gilda’s Club Minnesota.
MORE WAYS TO SUPPORT THE GALA
Bring on New Sponsors
There’s still time to bring on new sponsors to join us for the upcoming Gala, and we think it would be amazing for our Gilda’s community to get involved in creating a lasting legacy. Anyone who brings a new sponsor on board will be entered into a drawing to win a luxurious spa basket. If you know anyone who might be interested in sponsoring the Gala or a future Gilda’s Club event, please get in touch!
Sponsor a Table
Join us in spreading Gilda’s Club’s mission and making a lasting impact by sponsoring or hosting a table at the Tenth Anniversary Gala! Sponsorship begins at $2,000, and includes eight tickets to the event, recognition in the program and event signage, and your name or the name of someone you wish to honor printed in the program. You’ll also have the opportunity to name your table after a town or landmark in Minnesota that you would like represented, and your logo will be featured on the Gilda’s Club website. Learn more about available sponsorship packages at GildasClubMN.org/Gala/#Sponsor.
Leaders in Giving
Be a Leader in Giving and inspiring others! Join us in our fundraising efforts and set an example for others by donating $1,000 or more. As a token of our appreciation, Leaders in Giving will receive four tickets to the gala.
Sponsoring a table or being a Leader in Giving are both wonderful opportunities to share the mission of Gilda’s Club, make a difference, and enjoy a special evening of reflection and celebration.
