Leadership Charlotte Class of 2022 – Glow Gala event lights up

May 16, 2022

The Leadership Charlotte Class of 2022 is “lighting up” for mental health. This will be Charlotte County’s first event featuring black lights that will give their attending guests a true glow-in-the-dark experience.  The event will be on Saturday, June 4 at the Lions Den at Kings Gate Golf Club. The event will be from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The pandemic has taken a drastic toll on the mental health of many members of our community. The Leadership Charlotte Class is putting on this event to combat those challenges by focusing on four local area nonprofits: Guardian Ad Litem, the Family Services Center of Charlotte County, Charlotte Behavioral Health Care and the Animal Welfare League.

These fundraising efforts will enhance programs for each nonprofit to support mental health within their organizations. Proceeds from the Glow Gala Event will also help create several “safe spaces” that will provide community members a calming environment and tools that are needed to regulate their needs in a time of exhaustion or crisis.

The 80’s Glow Gala Event is an excellent opportunity to market your business while also supporting incredibly important work in the community. If being a sponsor isn’t the right opportunity, donating items for their silent auction would be greatly appreciated. The Leadership Charlotte Class of 2022 would love to see you at their event. Tickets can be purchased at leadershipcharlotte.square.site – Working together, we can all stand up for the mental welfare of our community that we love to live, work, and play.
