About the Virtual Gala
Founded by NHA in 2007, The Virtual Gala is a one-of-a-kind fundraising event where all the activities of a traditional fund-raising gala are simulated online. In other words, you can support NHA without ever leaving the comfort of your home or office. And, because NHA isn't spending any money on an event venue, entertainment, refreshments or any of the other costs associated with a flashy event, we are able to reduce our event-related costs by more than 200 percent compared to a live gala. This means more of your donation goes to helping the Neighborhood House Association provide over thousands of San Diego families, seniors and individuals this year with health, teenage pregnancy prevention, childhood development, seniors support, mental health, nutrition, HIV/AIDS services, housing counseling and emergency assistance services.
You can participate in the Virtual Gala in the following three ways:
Purchase a Table
You or your organization can show your support for building stronger San Diego communities by purchasing a table at the Platinum, Gold or Silver sponsor levels.
Bid on a Auction Item
NHA has gathered some exciting auction packages that will allow you to have a dream experience that will save you money and, in some cases, could not be purchased elsewhere. Check the Virtual Gala Website frequently as new auction packages are added up until the close of bidding on August 5.
Make a Donation
Support a neighbor in need in any amount you choose by making a donation to the Virtual Gala.
Put away the ball gown and tuxedo and turn on your computer! All the action for this gala happens online at www.nhagala.org, where you can give back without leaving your home!
"NHA helped me to be able to be there for my family. Because of the counseling, medication and referrals I receive from NHA’s mental health program Project Enable, I am happier and am living positively. I am closer to my family and have more self-esteem. I am now empowered to accomplish my goals. NHA has been my life-line during a time when no one else could help me."
