We cannot wait for you to join us for this incredible evening of fun, fellowship, and impact!
How to Get Involved
If you've been invited to be a Table Leader, you help make this night possible. By covering the cost of the table and inviting others to join you at your table, you fill the room with people passionate about what the Lord is doing around the world. This opens up doors for others to be involved in what God is doing through GEM!
**A Table costs $1,000 and seats 8 people
Our Silent Auction and Live Auction are a huge part of the evening. If you have items or experiences that you would be willing to donate to be auctioned off, please email our team! If you are not a business owner but would like to donate an item, please feel free to reach out as well! We love experiences, rental properties, or tangible items for the winner to take home that evening.
If you cannot make the event in person due to distance but want to make a difference, you can buy raffle tickets to support the overall event goal.
This is a fun way to make a difference and possibly win a trip to visit GEM's Manantial School in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, which is our first gospel saturated school! For $100, you will be entered to win a trip for 2!
