SIR PERCY FOUNDATION GALA
2023 - Date to be determined
The 8th Annual Gala will be coming again this year! Nothing is going to stop us from showing our appreciation of the Foundations continued support! We have made an impact on so many lives here in our community and beyond. Thanks to the ongoing financial support from our members! You truly are making a difference in the lives of others. While, at this time, the date has not yet been confirmed, there will be a date!Of course, we are facing challenges, attempting to adapt to the new health measures that are a necessary safety precaution. All organizations and foundations are in the same situation, regardless of where they are. We need to have an open mind and creativity to address those issues. Problem Solvers, we have become! And this problem, we shall overcome!Our planners are currently working with a few locations, confirming if and when they will be booking in larger groups to their facilities. We want to try to nail down a date as soon as possible. But, understand, doing so too soon could mean that we may need to reschedule. So, due to that, we are moving forward a bit more cautiously than before. Consulting with the larger venues in the area and following their recommendations. It does sound like we may be in luck to book something into November and will be confirming this with several vendors before putting the deposit down on the specific date. Once confirmed, you will be the first to know! But it looks like mid-November is going to be our opportunity to do this!Our first and foremost concern will be for the health of any members attending our Gala. If we expect the same turnout as prior years, we could be expecting 150 to 250 members in attendance. As such, we are always monitoring for any changes in health regulations on large gatherings. But we are optimistic that things will once again move forward without any issues!We have actually had great response to offering virtual attendance tickets. We can't seem to see why we wouldn't want to continue with that! We want to ensure that all members have an opportunity to “join in”. So, for a discounted cost, you may purchase a virtual ticket to attend remotely. We have the existing technology to maintain video screening/ online chat room, which will allow members to be “present” for all of the guest speaker presentations and provide the option to chat with others online in the same room. We will be communicating more information regarding these tickets, once the date of the event is confirmed.
We are no longer restricted to social distancing regulations. However, we will be accommodating seating arrangements for persons wanting to be seated together. If you are attending with friends and want to be seated together, purchase the number of seats as one purchase. This will ensure that you are all placed together for seating.Catering for the meal will be conducted from a sanitized kitchen and strict health and safety guidelines will be adhered. We will still do a table service, with the meal being served at the tables by waiters/waitresses. We will be adding more bartenders and drink stations so as to avoid congestion in the venue. If you have any dietary concerns, you can contact us at the time of the ticket order. We will do our best to ensure that your requests are taken care of.There is still plans to provide live music for dancing after the dinner and presentations. We have some performers that we have been in discussions with. Once the date is confirmed, we will be able to narrow down our choices and provide details of the entertainment booked for the evening.We are so looking forward to seeing all of you "returning" faces there! And want to welcome any new comers as well!
Thank you to All of our Sponsors, who are also dedicated and faithful in their belief in us being able to accomplish this!!
