Day-of-Event Support (Formal Gala)

Homeless Children’s Education Fund’s I AM Gala presented by Dollar Bank is more than a night out. It is a declaration that circumstance will never define destiny. As students’ voices take center stage through live storytelling and performances, we need professional, and welcoming volunteers to create this immersive experience. Between the launch of Echoes of Brilliance- a collection of student essays, and the presentation of the Lagana Champions for Children Awards, volunteers will help enhance the guest experience by making a smooth check-in, offering directional support, assisting with all auctions, and more. Together, we will celebrate perseverance, honor possibility, and fuel the futures of students who refuse to be counted out. This is I AM.
