MARION, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—The Marion County Board of Developmental Disabilities is set to host its annual Golden Gala on Friday, March 14, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Tri-Rivers Career Center.
Last year’s event saw 172 guests with developmental disabilities and nearly 300 volunteers. The Golden Gala aims to create an inclusive celebration for community members with developmental disabilities, featuring a red carpet walk lined with paparazzi, a DJ, dancing, a delicious meal, and opportunities to make new friends.
Community members can get involved in three ways:
- Register a guest with developmental disabilities and spread the word.
- Sign up to volunteer.
- Become a sponsor as a business or make a personal donation.
The deadline to participate is March 4. To register, volunteer, or donate, visit the Marion County Board of Developmental Disabilities website at marioncountydd.org.
The Marion County Board of DD extends its gratitude to premier sponsor OhioHealth, the United Way for their support with registration and sponsorships, Tri-Rivers for the use of their facility, and all the student groups participating. This event is truly a community effort.
