Events   >  Gala in a Box - May 23rd, 2008

Party with GENaustin in the privacy of your own home with our unique and unprecedented “Gala in a Box!” No dressing up, no table to fill, and best of all, over 75% of your donation will go directly to helping GENaustin girls! And…we’ll be green in the process!

Our virtual gala will host you on your time table with a boxed party delivered to you on May 23rd, 2008.

Depending upon sponsorship level, here's a peek at what you'll get in your gala box—our signature “Greenteani” drink featuring Tito’s Vodka, wine or champagne from Austin Wine Merchant, dinner reservations at key restaurants such as Uchi where the wait list can be up to two hours, a CD of music compiled by Austin’s famed Trish Murphy, tickets to another hip gala, discounts or gifts from premiere Austin shopping boutiques like Neiman Marcus, dessert, a crystal bowl from Tiffany’s, a centerpiece from Bella Flora Creative, and lots of other goodies. Invite your friends over or send them a box for their own intimate party. It's up to you how you rock out with GENaustin! Sponsorships and name recognition abound!
