Founders' Ball To Benefit enAble of Georgia

ALPHARETTA, GA — enAble of Georgia Foundation, Inc., the fundraising arm of enAble of Georgia, Inc., and Georgia Community Support and Solutions (GCSS) will host the Founders Ball Gala on Saturday, April 21st, 2018 at The Hotel at Avalon in Alpharetta. The event is 'Southern Cocktail' attire and will host approximately 400 guests.

The Gala will feature live entertainment provided by comedian Derrick Tennant and Atlanta’s popular band, Yacht Rock Schooners. The Hotel at Avalon is offering a special group rate of $149 per night for this event. The last day to book a room and receive this rate is April 1st, 2018. Guests will enjoy a Live and Silent Auction, a fabulous dinner, cocktails and dancing. We want to thank this year’s Gala chairs, Bill and Shirley Abernathy, and Mark and Kay Lewington for stepping up to host this great event.

The purpose of the event is to raise funds to support the mission of enAble of Georgia and GCSS, to support people with special needs so they may lead fulfilled lives - physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. The funds raised will provide support for the group homes and day programs that we currently operate, and will help bridge the gap between Medicaid funding received by those we serve and the actual costs associated with fully supporting each individual.
