The Second Annual Gala for Good will be held on Saturday, October 26 in the Wally Allen Ballroom at the Statehouse Convention Center. The Gala for Good is a special event designed to celebrate the incredible spirit of Goodwill by showcasing the amazing achievements of our program participants, graduates, and community partners.

 

We invite you to be part of the Gala for Good and join us in making a lasting impact on our community. With your support, you will be helping to further Goodwill’s mission of providing individuals with the opportunity to lead independent, successful, and productive lives. Your participation will not only make a difference in the lives of those we serve but also in the lives of those in our community.

 

This year's Spirit of Goodwill Award winner is none other than Mike Poore. Mike has been a long-time supporter of Goodwill and has played a crucial role in the educational initiatives of the organization. He has been particularly instrumental in helping support the growth of The Excel Center, Goodwill's high school for adults, to gain legislative support as the first and only adult high school in the state of Arkansas. This achievement is a testament to his unwavering commitment to providing educational opportunities for all, regardless of age or background.

 

The evening will begin with a delightful dinner with signature cocktails, beer, and wine. After the awards ceremony, guests can dance the night away to Who’s Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience, an incredible national touring act you won't want to miss. Additionally, there will be a silent and live auction, with all proceeds going to support Goodwill’s mission. Cocktail attire is suggested.

 

Sponsorship and tickets are now available. For more information, contact Shannon Boshears, SVP of Development, at sboshears@goodwillar.org or 501.372.5100, ext. 1300.
