2020 G.I.F.T. Gala Silent Auction
It is with an abundance of consideration that this year's
G.I.F.T. Gala has been postponed until March 20, 2021.
We will still plan to keep our Kentucky Derby theme,
so keep those dresses and hats for next year!
We will be in touch with our corporate sponsors, ticket holders,
and auction donors in the very near future as the details are worked out.
Thank you to everyone who was willing and eager
to participate in this year's G.I.F.T. Gala!
Most importantly, thank you for your understanding!
