The No-Go Gala: Halloween Edition

The Giving Coast

Diversity: The Voices of Sarasota is throwing a gala fundraiser, and you are cordially invited NOT to attend! That's right – no tuxedo, no gown, no Spanx squishing your insides, no tasteless canapés or overdone tenderloin – and absolutely no awkward small talk! Here’s how it works: From Oct. 29-31, donate any amount, and we'll send a "No-Go Gala" ticket to your inbox faster than you can say “I’d rather stay home in my Scooby-Do pajamas.” Then kick back in your favorite athleisure wear or maybe a fun Halloween costume ('tis the season, after all!), grab some nachos or a pint of Häagen-Dazs, watch a movie or read a book... and embrace the sweet freedom of not fretting over which fork to use, or worrying who wore it better. Your donation will help keep our chorus singing and spreading joy throughout Sarasota. So, watch for our email on Oct. 29 to donate during the No-Go Gala. We can't wait to get this party started!
