The YWCA is pleased to announce that this year’s Black & White Gala will be held on Thursday, May 7, 2015 at Asheville’s Crest Center & Pavilion.
Over the past nine years the Gala has emerged as one of
Asheville’s premier events; it was voted one the top fundraising events in
Western North Carolina (WNC) in the 2014 Mountain Xpress Best of WNC. The event is arguably Asheville’s most culturally diverse
party, allowing attendees from all backgrounds to enjoy the experience of
coming together for a good cause.
The Black & White
Gala features live music and dancing, a raffle, great food and drinks, and
opportunities to advocate for peace and justice. We are excited that the Free
Flow Band and DJ Jam have been booked for the entertainment this year.
The Black & White Gala is a fundraiser for the YWCA of
Asheville, and a joyous celebration of our Stand Against Racism.
The Stand Against Racism is a signature campaign of YWCA USA to build community
among those who work for racial justice and to raise awareness about the
negative impact of institutional and structural racism in our communities.
Sponsors help Gala grow as a fundraiser and
as an opportunity to build understanding of the work of the YWCA and our
partners. Sponsor support offsets the cost of the event, such as venue rental
and food, allowing ticket sales and raffle donations to go directly to program
support for the community. It’s not too late for your business to sponsor the
Gala – learn more here or
by contacting Alison Gooding at 828-254-7206 x. 207.
Tickets ($60) are available for purchase here.
