Save the Date for the Habitat for Humanity Annual Gala

 

Saturday, March 15   |   Moncrief Square Event Center

 

Celebrate attainable housing with Habitat for Humanity of Effingham County’s annual fundraising gala on March 15! The event has a new look and new venue this year, utilizing the beautiful Moncrief Square in downtown Springfield. This indoor/outdoor space will hold both seated and high-top tables to enjoy cuisine and drinks while mingling with other guests. Live entertainment and testimonials from some previous Habitat partner families will liven up the evening.

“We are excited about the new format for this event,” says Jimmy Rutland, president/CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Effingham County. “More people in our community will be able to learn about Habitat for Humanity’s work while they spend time with friends in one of Springfield’s best event spaces.”

Previous attendees will recall the table decorating tradition from earlier years, where guests decorated their own tables with festive themes. This year, each Habitat staff and board member will decorate a table with a theme of their choosing. Guests will be able to vote for their favorite and the winner will receive a year’s worth of bragging rights!

Tickets will include food, non-alcoholic beverages and raffle tickets that may be drawn for the opportunity to win door prizes. There will also be a silent auction with prizes donated by local businesses. All proceeds will go toward the next home building project, which is slated to break ground this spring.

Corporate sponsorships are available at multiple tiers for businesses to show support for the Habitat mission. Each tier includes tickets to the gala and levels of exposure for your business. Contact president/CEO Jimmy Rutland at 912-826-6433 for more information
