Check Out Last Year's Christmas Gala
This past Saturday, we celebrated the holiday season with glitz, giving, and good will! Despite the hectic nature of the time of year, our community came together to shine a light on how UNITED we can improve the quality of life for ALL in Lincoln County!
UWLC's Christmas Gala not only raises funds for UWLC’s vision of bringing communities together to face their greatest challenges from helping families find stability and empowering young people to responding to crises and so much more, but it also celebrates the holiday season and the connection to our community and each other. This year's gala had a 100% increase in funds raised--that means more mental health support for children who suffered trauma, more mentors in at-risk neighborhoods, more shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness, and so much more!
We want to thank our sponsors for helping us make this event possible!
