Frequently Asked Questions

 

Will there be a Foundation Gala during GWS?

No - This year will be a "Party with Purpose". Gone are the black ties and formal wear. Gone is the live auction (although the virtual auction remains). Gone are the paddle raises. The proceeds from each ticket purchased will benefit the Foundations charities. You will also be able to use QR codes throughout the venue to make any donation you wish.

But either way, come ready to entertain and be entertained! This year, we have replaced all of what you may recall from past Galas with the highest caliber entertainment event of the year.

This will be one they will be talking about for years to come!
