A Night of Sweet Surprises
This year's Gala promises to be sweeter than ever! From the moment you step through the doors, you'll be immersed in a world of creativity and enjoyment, featuring:
Live Music
Get ready to dance the night away with Atlanta's legendary Rupert's Orchestra. This dynamic band first rose to fame performing at the iconic Rupert's Nightclub in Atlanta, where they played to packed crowds for over eight years and earned the title of Atlanta's Best House Band every year. Today, they're celebrated as the Southeast's top party band, bringing loads of energy and a playlist that will have you rocking all night long.
Golden Ticket Cash Grab Contest
Inspired by Willy Wonka's legendary golden ticket, you'll have the chance to purchase special chocolate bars for a shot at finding the golden ticket. The lucky winner will step into our $10,000 cash booth, sponsored by the Credit Union of Georgia, to grab as much cash as possible in one minute.
Sweet and Savory Delights
Back again this year. Enjoy a coastal-inspired dining experience prepared by 1885 Grill from Acworth, Georgia. Pair your meal with exclusive bourbon tastings at the bourbon bar!
