The final numbers are in, and organizers from the Family Resource Center (FRC) are excited to announce their 2022 Giving Gala held earlier this month raised over $35,000 for the non-profit organization. FRC CEO Jill Hawkinson says it has been several years since they had last hosted a charity ball and auction, but that did not stop supporters from coming out in droves to the Nov. 3 event.
More than 300 people attended the Giving Gala hosted at Western Iowa Networks headquarters in Carroll, with a total raised of $35,500. According to Hawkinson, about half of that figure came from ticket sales, donations, and sponsorships. The other half was proceeds from the evening’s silent and live auctions. She says they are thrilled with how well everything went, especially after missing a few years due to COVID.
She adds it takes so many people, volunteers, and local businesses to make the Giving Gala successful and sends her heartfelt thanks to everyone involved.
The Family Resource Center accepts donations year-round, which are used to support local families in need. Learn more about FRC and how to donate at www.carrollfrc.org.
