Christmas Gala 2012

Together, We Do Amazing Things
6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1

This year's fundraiser features beloved local singer-songwriter Megon McDonough, who is sure to captivate us with her heartfelt songs and rich, engaging voice. Described as a magical woman with an angel's voice and a heart of gold, Megon has been acclaimed for her broad vocal abilities, shining in everything from jazz to country to cabaret. Best known for her uplifting song of personal empowerment, "Amazing Things," Megon has released 12 solo albums, and in her early career opened for such acts as John Denver, Steve Martin and Harry Chapin.

The evening includes an impressive auction event, featuring donated treasures, merchandise and services. In addition to our Silent Auction with the opportunity to bid on a collection of exclusive items, this year's event includes a Chance Auction. It involves buying tickets (as many as desired), then bidding on item(s) by placing one or more tickets in the "hat" beside the item(s). When bidding closes, a winning ticket is drawn from each "hat" and awarded to the ticket holder.

Before and after Megon's performance we'll deepen our connections and share holiday cheer while noshing on gourmet delicacies and sipping and wine, included in the $60 ticket price.
