While the GRACE Gala is still a few months away (Mark your calendars for October 26), locals came out to Grapevine last week to get the party started. On Thursday, June 13, supporters gathered at BoomerJack’s for the 2019 GRACE Gala Gifting Party.
The GRACE Gala Chairs Brent and Kimberly Tipps, along with the Gala Auction Committee, offered guests beer, wine, margaritas and food. Guests just had to bring an in-kind donation for the gala auction valued at $100 or more.
Guests had a chance to see an array of the donations that would be available at this year’s auction as well as see this year’s raffle prize: a six-day, five-night luxury vacation at the Fairmont Orchid Hawaii. People who purchased raffle tickets were also entered to win VIP packages for the Texas Rangers, passes to NRH20 Family Water Park as well as limited edition GRACE Gala wine.
This year’s event marks the 16th anniversary of the GRACE Gala, which has raised close to $5 million. This is the largest fundraising event for GRACE, and the nonprofit hopes this year will be the biggest celebration yet! For more information, visit the Gala’s website.
