Fundraising Gala

Last Thursday, NoblePurpose Ministries hosted its first fundraising gala. There was a Sudanese youth choir, tea and silk scarves from India, a presentation and a beautiful rooftop view of downtown Greensboro. Oh, and did I mention that my summer internship was to plan this gala? Whew!

Overall, I think the event was a success. Being my first time planning a fundraiser, there were definitely plenty of things I could have done differently - getting some more volunteer help being one of them! Events were not meant to be planned by one person! I did learn a lot, however, and we managed to make a little bit of money. :) My crazy crazy busy summer has finally wound down, and I get a few breather weeks before classes start up on the 20th. I love nonprofit work, but sometimes it can really take it out of you!!
