The “Carnival of Love” Gala, a virtual celebration, will be hosted online from Friday, February 20 to Saturday, February 26. The event is hosted by the Heartland Family Service Friends Guild. Julie Gibson-Beier and Laressa Tromler are event Co-Chairs, and Candy Golden is the Friends Guild President.
A new sponsorship level, the “Starlight Sponsor,” has been added to this fun and charitable event. For $1,500, you can invite eight to 10 friends to “attend” the “Carnival of Love” Gala in the safety of your home to watch our kick-off broadcast on February 20, or for our finale, a livestream auction to help us “fill the heart” on February 26 – or host a party for both! When you become a Starlight Sponsor, you will receive your company or personal name on a full screen backdrop for all “Carnival of Love” Gala productions, verbal recognition during the online program, and recognition on all website and social media postings and other communications.
Individuals and businesses also have the opportunity to become a “Nightlight” Sponsor for $100. To become a sponsor or to donate to the “Carnival of Love” Gala, visit https://www.heartlandfamilyservice.org/events/carnival-of-love-gala-21/ to register safely online.
