Dare to Dream Gala Raises $250,000 For Special Needs Adults

enAble of Georgia 29th Annual Dare to Dream Gala

Atlanta, Georgia: On Saturday, March 4, 2017 enAble of Georgia held its annual Gala at the Renaissance Waverly Atlanta Hotel. The black-tie optional event was attended by over 400 guests, including Roswell Mayor Jere Wood and was hosted by Fox 5 Atlanta’s Russ Spencer. Entertainment was provided by Chinua Hawk and Party Nation, and the Gala Chairs were Mark and Kay Lewington. All of the guests enjoyed a silent auction, live auction, delicious dinner, cocktails and dancing.

The purpose of the event was to raise funds to support the mission of enAble of Georgia, to support people with special needs so they may lead fulfilled lives – physically, intellectually, and socially. This year’s Gala raised over $250,000 and the funds raised will help support the 120 individuals supported by enAble, help maintain the 18 group homes that enAble currently operates and will help bridge the gap between Medicaid funding received by those we serve and the actual costs associated with fully supporting each individual.

The event would not have been possible without the help of our amazing sponsors.
