We are delighted to pay tribute to our founder, Kimberly Brusatori, as the honoree at our 6th Annual Charity Gala. Ten years ago, she and other parents were inspired to create a program to provide services to individuals with disabilities and their families. Kimberly currently serves as executive director and as a member of the board of directors of Village Learning & Achievement Center. Her path to this point can largely be attributed to her passion to provide her son and others community-based enrichment programs. Because of Kimberly’s spirit and determination, the lives of children and adults with disabilities in our area have been greatly enhanced.

GALA SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE

Village Learning & Achievement Center invites you to support us as asponsor or auction item donor as we begin planning for our 6th Annual Charity Gala “Black & White Ball” scheduled for November 6, 2010 at The Houston Club, featuring the talented band, “Johnny Dee and the Rocket 88’s.”

Our organization is celebrating ten years of “Providing Choices to Families & Individuals with Disabilities,” in the greater Houston area. This year we honor our own Kimberly Brusatori, founder and visionary of Village Learning & Achievement Center.

Our gala is a wonderful opportunity to promote your business at a well-attended event while supporting an extraordinarily worthwhile cause.  We anticipate well over 400 attendees this year.

As the number of clients being served at Village Learning & Achievement Center continues to increase, so does community awareness of our organization and our gala.

You may make arrangements to drop off an auction item and/or have one of our volunteers pick it up from you.  We prefer to receive all auction items no later than October 20, 2010.

If you have questions about partnering with us by becoming a sponsor or auction item donor, contact our Special Events Coordinator, Jen Nydell at gala@villagelac.org or 281-358-6172.

The income derived from this year’s gala is vital due to the increasing demand for programs and services for individuals with disabilities in our community, as well as the increasing expense to provide such services.  As a gala sponsor or auction item donor, your support will positively impact the lives of many.

Thank you!
