Thank you to everyone who came out to Giving Children Hope’s 6th annual gala, Hope 500, at the Marconi Automotive Museum on September 16, 2012. It was a fun, exciting and enriching night!

Donors, partners, volunteers, families and friends attended the night of celebration. Hope 500 highlighted several of GCHope’s international and domestic programs, including We’ve Got Your Back, Giving For Living, Military Support, Disaster Relief, Medical/Pharmaceutical Supplies and the Buena Park Community Clinic. Along with the featured programs, guests enjoyed a wonderful dinner and were entertained with music from the Pawnshop Kings, a live painting, and stories about those GCHope serve around the world.

There were a couple of lucky guests who took home great prizes from our raffle; choices were either a beautiful original vintage negative Greta Garbo print or a two-night San Francisco vacation package. There was also a variety of silent auction packages, including Morgan Bay Beach Resort, St. Lucia, Flightdeck Flight Simulation, A Taste of Napa Valley, Museum Madness and The Pampered Panther.

If you missed this year’s gala, be sure to join us next year for an even greater celebration as we commemorate GCH’s 20th Anniversary!
