Details
The Washington Center is excited to announce its annual
fundraising event, Gala 2009: In Service of a Nation, will be held on
Monday, October 19, 2009. Proceeds from Gala 2009 will provide essential program
support and scholarships that make our program accessible to students
regardless of their backgrounds.
The Washington Center’s Gala 2009: In Service of a
Nation recognizes the many ways in which individuals can impact nations
and society through civic engagement, one of the organization’s three
pillars. It pays tribute to the democratic principles that the power of
a nation lies within the hands of its citizens and that participation is
both the promise and responsibility of citizenship. It will honor
special individuals who have devoted their lives to the service of
their fellow citizens for the betterment of our society. Among the
awardees will be some whose contributions have enriched The Washington
Center’s programs this year, especially our Political Leadership
Program; Advocacy, Service, and Arts Program; “Presidential
Inauguration” seminar; and “The Obama Presidency: First 100 Days”
seminar.
Gala 2009 will take place at the renowned National Building Museum
in Washington, D.C., a prominent and vital venue for informed, reasoned
debate about the built environment and its impact on people’s lives.
Please note: The $250 tickets are for TWC alumni only. An alumnus/alumna can purchase 1 additional ticket at this special alumni rate. Other additional tickets will be sold at the full ticket price of $500.
