Please join Goodwill as a Sponsor of our 2011 gala, The Good Party, where on Wednesday evening, June 15, we will once again dress up our headquarters at 1010 Harrison Avenue and welcome guests for an evening of flair, food and fun to celebrate and support Goodwill’s social justice mission!

Through the Bubble-Q theme, the elegance of champagne and champagne cocktails will combine with the best of barbecue and a feast of other diverse local flavors—prepared and presented by some of the area’s most noted bartenders and restaurants.

The Good Party ’11 will celebrate everyday independence The party may be a couple of weeks before July Fourth, but in a very real sense every day is Independence Day at Goodwill. Every day individuals with disabilities gain the skills and confidence to get a job. Every day children discover what they want to be when they grow up. Every day struggling parents land jobs or get promoted. These are days and successes worth celebrating. Helping individuals achieve independence and dignity through work is the essence of Goodwill’s mission and has been so for 116 years.

At the event, we will also be pleased and honored to welcome Victoria Reggie Kennedy, who will be present to receive Goodwill’s Independence Award in appreciation for all her husband, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, did to assist people with disabilities including authoring the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Plus, a dynamic Event Committee and the creative flair of the team at Rafanelli Events will make for a grand and memorable evening.

Your Sponsorship will provide much-needed support for Goodwill’s mission to provide exemplary job training and related services to help individuals with disabilities and other barriers to self-sufficiency to achieve independence and dignity through work, Not Charity, But a Chance.
