The Great Gala 2020

Our 2020 Beneficiary: The Gatehouse (Grapevine)
Event Theme: Once Upon A Time

This year the gala will be bigger than years prior with a fundraising goal of $80,000. Our beneficiary this year is "The Gatehouse". If you haven't heard of them, let me fill you in! They do AMAZING work creating a supportive living community for women — whether single or with children — leaving a crisis, such as abuse, poverty, homelessness, tragic divorce or other reasons. The Gatehouse creates a community where women and children end cycles of abuse and poverty and discover new paths for permanent and positive change!

Residents of The Gatehouse work through a unique program at their own pace. The individually-tailored plan empowers them to address and heal from trauma, and transition into independence physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. Some of the resources provided to them include food, clothes, transportation, medical/dental, childcare, professional counseling, life skills training, education, career development guidance, and financial literacy training. See attached for more information about The Gatehouse.

Sponsorship opportunities are detailed below and we urge you to act fast if you are a business or service in the area, as these spots are coveted and will fill quickly. The earlier you sign up as a sponsor, the more advertising benefit you will receive, as our efforts start the moment you sign up!

​

“Once Upon a Time,” our theme for the 2020 Great Gala, will be a dream come true for these local women and children in need of our help. Let’s give them a “hand up” and help make those dreams a reality!

Community Service

Every year, the GCS Moms League strives to give back to our community through charitable drives benefiting women, children and the elderly. Our annual charity gala on April 8, 2018 The Great Gala 2018,  raised more than $30,000 for the children of Jonathan's Place - a safe, loving home offering specialized services to children who have been abused, abandoned or neglected.

In addition, each December, we focus our efforts on our toy drive for Christmas is for Children. CIFC is a nonprofit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing underprivileged children all the joy that is the spirit of the holidays. GCSML members adopt an Angel and shop for their holiday needs and wants.
