Longy’s un-Gala Celebration
The conductor brought much of the room to tears as he talked about the reason the world needs programs like Longy’s.
We count on our Gala to raise $350,000 each year—and we need your help!
Your gift gives kids in Longy’s Side-by-Side program a doorway to their future—and a clear route to success.
Stay tuned for more un-Gala Celebration this week.
