Gala Gratitude

 

 

"America the Beautiful" was beautiful indeed! 

  

Our 25th Anniversary Gala on October 26th drew almost 400 participants and 49 generous sponsors to a fabulous evening at the Westin which raised thousands of dollars for our programs and services.  International House is extremely fortunate to have the talent, creativity, and energy of a cadre of volunteers who manage to pull off an amazing event, year after year.  The benefit gala is our single most important annual fundraiser, and the revenue raised is critical to our budget.  We simply could not sustain International House's good work in the Charlotte community without the support of our sponsors and the dedicated volunteers who believe in our mission and give hundreds of hours every year to make this event a success. >> Read More
