They are all committed to helping those challenged by mental illness, substance abuse, poverty and homelessness.”

TGCW’s Gala provides a mix-and-mingle atmosphere, shunning the traditional “rubber chicken dinner” for a grand cocktail hour featuring a lavish assortment of passed and stationed hors d'oeuvres, an energetic live and silent auction as well as entertainment by DJ The Legendary Chris Washington. Auction and raffle prizes typically feature tickets to Broadway shows, sporting events and other one-of-a-kind experiences.

TGCW offers essential and lasting support to those challenged by mental illness, substance abuse, poverty, and homelessness. We empower our participants to become active members of their community through education, treatment, housing and rehabilitative and vocational services.
