Share attendee expectations

Our gala goal is to raise funds for the WellSky Foundation’s mission, which aims to promote positive change by providing financial support to organizations that offer care and healing to people, regardless of their socioeconomic status. The WellSky Foundation has donated nearly $3 million to over 40 non-profit organizations over the last six years. These local organizations tackle issues like housing insecurity, food scarcity, limited access to transportation, and social isolation that can severely impact people’s well-being.
