2020 Gala Luncheon
August 27, 2020
GALA POSTPONED to August 27, 2020
The Gala Luncheon is Thursday, August 27, 2020 from 10:30 – 1:30
at Doubletree Resort, Lancaster featuring Shannan Martin.
Due to the recommendation of the CDC and with hope for the future, we have decided to postpone the Bridge of Hope Gala which was scheduled for May 8 to Thursday, August 27, 2020. If you have sponsored the May 8th event, your sponsorship will be transferred to August 27th. Your tickets will not be replaced—please use the ones that you have already received. In addition, if you have already purchased tickets, we are hopeful you will use them on August 27th.
We are still looking for sponsors for our Gala! We are so grateful for everyone who has committed support to the event thus far and hope that this change will give an opportunity to meet the increasing needs of the families we serve. If it becomes apparent that the current health crisis would make it impossible to safely hold the event August 27, we will, at that point, cancel the Gala and would like to update your receipts as charitable donations. If you would like your financial contributions handled differently, please let us know.
If you would like to sponsor our Gala, please click on the yellow button on this page to see more information or feel free to contact Linda Homer-Hurley with any questions at 610-280-0280 ext. 1012 or lindahh@bridgeofhopeinc.org.

In Bridge of Hope, lives change, families are strengthened and hope begins. Our annual Gala Luncheon will be held on Friday, May 8, 2020 at Palm Court, DoubleTree Resort, Lancaster, PA. It will feature Shannan Martin, best-selling author of The Ministry of Ordinary Places: Waking Up to God’s Goodness Around You and Falling Free: Rescued from the Life I Always Wanted. Shannan is a speaker and writer who found her voice in the country and her story in the city. She lives with her jail-chaplain husband, Cory, and their kids as grateful neighbors in Goshen, Indiana. Shannan will inspire you to love your neighbor right where God has placed you.
Thanks to our 2020 Gala Luncheon sponsors.
