The Mayor’s Charity Ball
|
The
Mayor’s Charity Ball
is held in January each year in collaboration with HopeWorks to
provide discretionary monies that allow these two nonprofit
service organizations to respond to the needs of
the community. The Bridge
welcomes donations to The Mayor’s Charity Ball on many levels.
You can become an event sponsor
(sponsorships range from a $100
business-card-sized ad in the program book to a major event
sponsor up to the Galaxy Sponsor level of $10,000).
Another way to support the ball is by
donating an item to the
live and silent auctions that will feature an outstanding array of unique
and creative items. The event also requires an energized
committee of volunteers who contribute their time and talents in
many ways from soliciting sponsorships, to making centerpieces,
to packaging and arranging auction items, to preparing mailings.
