Groves Gala
Join us for the Groves Gala on Saturday, April 22nd at Quincy Hall!
Doors open at 6pm. VIP Reception from 5pm-6pm.
Join us as we shine a light on the last 50 years and illuminate the path toward the brightest of futures.
More than 500 business leaders, philanthropists, parents, educators, and members of the community will join us as we light up the night with our shared joy. We’ll toast to momentous milestones and learn about future initiatives. Most importantly, we’ll celebrate our collective ability to make positive change — one student, one family, one school, one community, one classroom at a time.
This annual fundraising event for GLO promises an elegant meal, craft cocktails, a premier silent- and live-auction, punch board, fund-the-future challenge, and much more.
