Chrysalis? 3rd Annual Gala Breakfast

The Spirit of Chrysalis is now entering its third year and we are definitely building some fantastic momentum with the new ?friendraising? approach since instituting this model in 2008. Our bi-weekly information sessions have introduced new friends, volunteers, donors and board members to Chrysalis and the Annual Gala Breakfast we have hosted in 2009 and 2010 have been more successful that we could have hoped for heading into this fundraising initiative. Over the past two years, thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors and supporters, Chrysalis has raised nearly $220,000 from the first two Gala Breakfast events. Needless to say, we are very excited about the 3rd Annual Gala Breakfast, which will be held on Thursday, June 2nd, 2011 at the Mayfield Inn and Suites. This free, one-hour fundraising event will run from 7:30 ? 8:30 a.m.

This special gathering will provide guests with an intimate feel for the work Chrysalis does, the programs and services offered, the people whom we serve and lives which we have changed! The event is highlighted with a few heartwarming stories from Chrysalis Board Members, our CEO, staff members and of course, the individuals we serve every day including a video detailing the organization and the success we have seen over the past 40 plus years.

The 3rd Annual Gala Breakfast is open to all to attend and is absolutely free of charge. All guests will be treated to a complimentary continental breakfast and will also be asked to consider making a contribution to Chrysalis but you are not required to donate in order to attend.

All funds raised at the 3rd Annual Gala Breakfast will be distributed directly to enhancing the programs and services offered at Chrysalis to ensure our individuals are receiving the highest quality programming while they are at Chrysalis.

Chrysalis is very thankful to have wonderful sponsors of the Gala Breakfast who have allowed all ensured that all donations raised at the Gala Breakfast will not have to be used to cover any of the cost that are associated with hosting this event.
