The 2020 Bright Lights Big Dreams Gala will now be held Thursday, September 24th at 7pm CST as a VIRTUAL event!
While we can't convene in person, nothing can stop us from celebrating and showcasing the resiliency of the youth at Lad Lake. Our youth still need us now more than ever, and we need your support. Once you register on GiveSmart, you will begin receiving updates via e-mail and text message about auction items and the virtual program. We will e-mail and text you the direct link to join the virtual event via Facebook Live (no Facebook account required) on the day of the event.
