Not only was this event profitable, it was also visually stunning for our In-Studio Audience and home viewers. It's so nice to gather together again, even if it is only in small groups. And if you need to host a virtual gala but have a little room to bring in some friends, it adds a whole new layer of excitement to a virtual gala. The clapping the cheering, it's electric!

Catholic Charities invited their staff and Board of Directors to make up our approximately 60 person audience for this event. They were able to raise funds through a brilliant appeal that was scripted by our friends and event strategists at Swaim Strategies and they also were able to honor the years of work of Deacon Rick Birkel who was retiring. We met the new Executive Director who hadn't even moved to the city yet, but thanks to technology was able to be present and represented.

It was a night full of love. And generosity.
