Every year, we aim to make our annual GHCC Gala a fun, memorable evening to celebrate these amazing wild places that inspire us all.

 

In 2020, under the weight of the COVID-19 pandemic, the volunteer Gala Committee resiliently responded by creating GHCC's first online Gala. Volunteer Gala coordinator Emelie Montgomery-Jones led the committee in holding a 5-day auction and a river trip raffle, despite the challenges of a high learning curve an all-new online technology platform.

​

GHCC supporters responded with an unexpected and unparalleled generosity, and succeeded in not only meeting but exceeding the fundraising goals for the event.

In a follow-up and parallel Gala event, a 2021 calendar featuring past featured Gala artwork was created by volunteer Jennifer Schemm  and the Gala committee as an artistically acclaimed and very successful fundraising tool.
