Red Cross Gala
Words cannot express how delighted I was with my experience at the Jackson Center. The Red Cross Gala is a black-tie event held annually for 12 years. The Gala is the largest event for the Red Cross in the state of Alabama and is also the largest fundraiser for the North Alabama Chapter. Moving the event was not an easy decision. But I am so glad that we did!
The lobby was the perfect site for our silent auction and cocktail reception hour. It was large enough to comfortably hold our 200 guests – but small enough to feel intimate. The highlight for our guests was the meal! This is the first time I’d ever had guests come up and ask me who catered!
We had access to state-of-the art electronic screens, sound equipment and stages which added to our program.
The venue was perfect – but I was blown away by the staff. I immediately felt like Jamie Jones was vested in making this event a success for us. Everyone there was attentive and thought of things before we even knew we needed it.
Moving our event to the Jackson Center was the best decision for our event.
