Gala 2023

Description

Please join us for the 2023 Winter Gala, held at the gorgeous FireKeepers Casino Hotel! Hors D'Oeuvres and drinks will begin at 6pm, with dinner being served promptly at 7pm. Then get ready for our fun annual auctions, great music, and a chance to dust off those dancing shoes with colleagues and friends...and some surprises for this year's event! Attendees will receive a $10 play voucher for the casino floor, complimentary valet parking, and discounted hotel room rates.   

The Winter Gala is more than just an elegant night out among colleagues and friends though - it's one of three major fundraising events organized by BCAAR's PR Committee. Each fundraising event seeks to support local projects/non-profit organizations in Calhoun County that focus on improving housing, helping families, or strengthening quality of life in the cities where we all work and live. Through the BCAAR Grant Fund (established in 2005) BCAAR has given over $173,000 back to our communities! Just this past year, $24,000 was given to five area organizations - the Battle Creek Area Habitat for Humanity, Kellogg Arena, Victory Life Church, Gracious Homes, and Tri-County Labor.   

This long-standing event is a night of celebration, and a toast to a wonderful year of business and giving back to our communities, while enjoying the camaraderie of our wonderful association. Stay tuned for sneak peeks at this year's auction items, and information on how the PR Committee is preparing for this to be BCAAR's best Gala ever!
