Opportunity Council 60th Anniversary Gala Volunteers - Oct. 25th

Opportunity Council 60th Anniversary Gala Fundraiser Volunteers

Join us for an evening that honors six decades of community action and looks ahead to the next chapter. Together, we’ll gather at the Hotel Bellwether Ballroom for dinner, music, and celebration. More than a party, the gala is a chance to carry forward a legacy: making sure help shows up when and where it’s needed most.

We need your help!
