Opportunity Council is ringing in its 60th year of serving northwest Washington with a gala to celebrate its work building equitable communities.
The gala will bring guests together for dinner, dancing and reflecting on the nonprofit’s history 5:30-10:30 p.m. Saturday, October 25 at the Hotel Bellwether ballroom, 1 Bellwether Way in Bellingham. The event is “festive formal,” with attendees encouraged to dress in their best cocktail and semi-formal wear.
Tickets cost $150 each or $1,250 for a table of 10. People who can’t attend but would like to support Opportunity Council may do so by making a donation or sponsoring a ticket for a community member online.
Individual tickets will be sold through Friday, October 10.
Opportunity Council is a Bellingham-based nonprofit that serves Whatcom, Skagit, Island and San Juan counties through an array of programs, including employment services, utility and rental assistance and help for veterans.
“As we approached our 60th anniversary of community action this year, we wanted to acknowledge this important milestone,” wrote Emily Martens, communications coordinator at Opportunity Council, in an email to The Northern Light. “At Opportunity Council, we’re dedicated to helping people and building communities where everyone has the chance to thrive and contribute, and we couldn’t do it alone.”
