Vince Carter Charity Gala A Hit!
The Vince Carter Charity Gala, presented by Halifax Health, topped off the Embassy of Hope summer fundraising activities with a whirlwind of dancing, bidding on auction items, and having a great time. On Saturday, August 25, 2012, the Ocean Center Daytona Beach rocked to the sounds of MPiRE as they played music that every participant could dance to and enjoy. Guests bid on such envious auction items as tickets to the Master’s in April, dinner for 8 at Vince Carter’s, and a 14 carat white gold ring with black and white diamonds and a matching pair of earrings. Guests nibbled well on pasta, a steamship round of beef, tea sandwiches, fruit, veggies, and banana boats with ice cream and toppings!
As they were leaving, guests made it a point to thank the Embassy of Hope Foundation, Vince, and Michelle for a fabulous evening. As Vince so aptly commented, “This night isn’t about me; it is about the children and families the Embassy of Hope supports throughout our community. The challenges to help keep alive the dreams of those children and parents who have lost hope in having a bright future remains my driving passion, and I sincerely thank each of you for making an investment in the lives of these women and children.”
All proceeds from the Vince Carter Charity Gala go to women’s and children’s programs and the Embassy of Hope Foundation “Believing in Your Dreams” Scholarship Fund.
