Our Annual Gala

Our annual gala has played a vital role in sustaining operations for over a decade and this year is no exception. The revenue generated by our programs cannot begin to cover the myriad costs of our work. Horses, and their care is expensive, as is property ownership in Great Falls. We have budgeted to raise a much needed 40% of our revenue shortfall and provide an outstanding opportunity for area businesses to reach the Great Falls and McLean communities. Ocean’s 24 Casino Night and Auction is expected to reach new heights in bridging the revenue to expenses gap, while a change in venue to Trump National Golf Club will also extend our outreach to affluent Loudoun County as well. Your contributions in reaching our goal will provide support to over 400 Lift Me Up! participants each year.
