Durham Interfaith Hospitality Network celebrated our 15th Anniversary at our annual fundraising Gala – “Fulfilling the Promise.” The stewardship and generosity of IHN supporters enabled us to have the most successful gala event ever!
Enjoying a fabulous dinner catered by Rick’s Diner, 138 guests ate, drank and were merry while listening to the musical entertainment of Willie Painter and Scott Laird. Throughout the evening, guests mingled and had the opportunity to bid on items in both the silent auction and raffle.
Former IHN guest Michelle offered inspiration to all of us as she told her story of how IHN helped her and and her two beautiful children get back on their feet. She spoke from the heart, thanking all those present, and expressing her gratitude for not only helping her get back into permanent housing but also for renewing her faith in the people of Durham.
DIHN gives thanks to our business donors listed below, as well as the many congregations and individuals who contributed items for the gala. Through the generosity of so many in our community, our 2009 Gala was a huge success!
