Join us on SATURDAY, March 30 at One Preston Events in Gunter for our 6th Annual Denim and Diamonds Gala! This will be our first Saturday night Gala, and you won’t want to miss it! Dinner, drinks, games, and a live and silent auction are sure to make for a great night! Visit our gala webpage at: www.bidpal.net/2019denimanddiamonds for more information on tickets and sponsorships.
With about 200 guests in attendance, the 2018 Gala raised nearly $100,000! We debuted an online/mobile bidding platform that allowed guests to bid from their seats, as well as non-attendees to bid remotely. We enjoyed music from DJ Steve Bogran, many rounds of “poker darts,” and our auctioneer, Game Warden Randolph McGee from the Animal Planet show Lone Star Law, excited the crowd. Join in on the fun this year by securing your tickets now!
