One Million Reasons to be Thankful!

Guardian Angels • August 28, 2017

One Million Reasons to smile!

Gala Committee Members gather in front of a sample bus which will be purchased with proceeds from this year’s Gala.

The Guardian Angels Gala committee has a million reasons to smile these days, as a recent report showed that $1,000,000 has been raised at GA Gala’s over the past 15 years!

“It’s an amazing accomplishment when you think about the investment that donors have gifted to the seniors in our community through these events. If not for these dollars, Guardian Angels buildings and services would look significantly different than they do today” said Dan Dixon, President and CEO of Guardian Angels. “Proceeds from past Galas have funded the Care Center Capitol Campaign, including the recent Bailey Lane renovation, buses, Club GA Wellness Center, and numerous pieces of equipment and furnishings that benefit our seniors and their families. We’re thankful and humbled.”

A huge thank you to the Gala Committee, volunteers, and staff who work diligently to make these events a success, and thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
