⇼Arrival
Please arrive to the Gala by 5:30 PM if possible so that you may welcome your guests as they arrive.

⇼During the Gala:

⇼ To help everyone feel at ease, please provide introductions.  

⇼ Consider sharing your Elijah Rising “story:” how you heard of us, why you support us, how you are involved or might want to be… 

⇼ Invite your guests to ask any questions about what they are seeing and hearing. Please feel free to call over an Elijah Rising staff member if you are stumped by a guest’s question or concern.  

⇼ There will be a silent auction that goes live the week before the event and closes during the gala, before the program begins. We will then have a live auction and paddle raise during the program.

⇼ There will be a fundraising appeal.  Instructions will come from the Speaker, but please remind guests as necessary that they will place their small envelopes in the giving baskets.  Please make it available in the center of your table or pass it around. When guests have finished making their gift, please ensure that they place it in the giving basket.

⇼ Elijah Rising volunteers will visit your table to collect the giving basket as the “giving time” comes to a close.
