Tickets and Sponsorships Now Open for the 2022 Rainbow Village "We Are Family" Benefit Gala

DULUTH, Ga. - Aug. 23, 2022 - PRLog -- Marking the largest fundraiser on Rainbow Village's calendar each year, the 2022 "We Are Family" Gala is just around the corner on Saturday, October 1. The metro Atlanta nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness – one family at a time – will play host to a black-tie optional affair that includes a champagne reception, seated dinner with complimentary wine, silent and live auctions, its famed wine wall and a raffle to win a week for four at a private villa in Tuscany, Italy. Held in the ballroom at Atlanta Athletic Club beginning at 6:30 p.m., guests will also have an opportunity to hear an emotional account from a Rainbow Village graduate, detailing the impact the organization had on her life and the lives of her children.

"Last year, we were beyond thrilled to celebrate our 30^th anniversary face-to-face with so many of our supporters after hosting our 2020 Gala virtually due to COVID," said Melanie Conner, CEO of Rainbow Village. "As a result, the event raised over $500,000 in support of our all-important mission to bring help, hope, housing and healing to families experiencing homelessness. We are hoping to receive a similar response from attendees and sponsors this year. We've continued to offer a digital element for those supporters who can't join us in person. Anyone can bid online for select silent auction items and purchase a raffle ticket, but they'll need to hurry. We're only offering 300 raffle tickets for an amazing week's stay in Tuscany. If the winner needs a fourth member of their travel party, I'll be more than happy to volunteer!"

Conner also added that – while he has attended as a guest in the past – she is excited to have Rainbow Village's new Chief Strategy & Philanthropy Officer, Randy Redner, among staff members present at the event.

Sponsorships for the event are now open.
