Luke’s Wings is pleased to announce its annual Black tie "Heroes Gala, featuring Fashion Takes Flight" to be held Saturday, April 9th at The Ritz Carlton, Washington, DC. 100% of funds raised at this black tie fundraiser, in honor of our heroes, will go directly towards reuniting our wounded warriors and their families in 2016. We are expecting 300 guests consisting of our military heroes and families, dignitaries, corporations, prominent Washington DC community leaders and political leaders who support our uniformed men and women.
We need 20 volunteers who can commit to work the entire shift 4 pm- 10:30 pm. We recognize that this is a long shift but the event begins at 6:30 and concludes at 10:30 and tasks, including set-up, will be required throughout the entire night. It is a very moving and emotional night. We desire people with event experience (including registration, silent and live auction, greeters and seaters, gift bag distribution, etc). We also welcome those who are supportive and passionate about military causes.
Sandwiches, snacks and non-alcholic drinks will be provided during the shift. We will not provide alcohol but invite you to stay at the end of the event for a celebatory toast!
Must be at least 21 and commit to the entire shift. Black tie attire not required but requested.
Thank you!
