then just feed one." - Mother Teresa

* VIEW LAST YEAR'S GALA PICTURES!! *
When: We hope you will join us Friday, October 21, 2011 from 6:30PM - 11:00PM.
Where: The Grand Marquise Ballroom 205 New Fidelity Ct, Garner NC 27529 (Off Hwy 70 behind Garner TV & Appliance)
Why: Proceeds from this event will benefit the Backpack Buddies Program, which supplies food to homeless children within the Garner School System and to the Garner Mid-Day Rotary Club Foundation scholarship program for Garner youth.
If you are unaware, Garner has the second highest homeless population in children in all of Wake County, second only to inside the beltline. Garner has 10% of all the homeless children in Wake County Public Schools and NO ONE is feeding these children outside of school except for the Garner Mid Day Rotary Club. NOT the Food Bank, NOT the Inter Faith Food Shuttle etc. These programs feed NO children in Garner. This is why we need your help!! How can you help? Buy a ticket or become a sponsor to this fabulous event. Dust off your dancing shoes and enjoy a night of great music, fantastic food, exciting auctions and good people!
How Much: Tickets for this event are $75 each. Each ticket includes admission, dinner, and one chance to win the cash prize of $2,500.
