Beth-El Center is hosting its annual spring gala on Saturday, June 17 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Grassy Hill Country Club in Orange. Every year, corporate and civic leaders join the gala to raise funds that will support the center’s shelter, food and outreach programs to alleviate poverty, hunger and homelessness in the greater Milford area, shoreline communities and the lower Naugatuck Valley.
The event will feature a 1960s Summer of Love theme and includes a signature cocktail hour, sit-down dinner, live music from The Elwoods, dancing, a live auction and an awards ceremony. The Beth-El Individual Community Star award will be given to Kelly Fitzgerald of United Way of Greater New Haven. The Business Community Star award will be given to TEAM Inc., one of the Center’s housing assistance partners. The Honorary Community Star will be awarded to Milford Mayor Benjamin Blake in honor of his service to Beth-El and the Milford community at large.
Tickets for the gala are $100 per person. To sponsor the event or to secure tickets, visit bethelmilford.org/gala or call Troy Gonda at 203-876-0747.
