Minneapolis Marriott Southwest

Thank you to all our sponsors, underwriters, supporters and volunteers of Gala 2008. Thank you to our Auction co-chairs Terri Wright and Donna O’Reilly and their committee, for their time and commitment. You did a great job securing unique and wonderful auction items, and creating awesome baskets. Thank you to the many volunteers from Bridging, BI and the NCA Group who helped make the evening run smoothly and efficiently. Thank you to Megan and Diana who help with all the final details of booklet and auction set up, we could not do it with out you.
We had a record crowd, we had a great time with beautiful and unique auction items, a fabulous dinner and great entertainment. Bridging raised over $170,000 to help serve our families with beds, furniture and household items because of your generosity and support.
We hope to see you all again next year.
