about the Gala

The Equality Gala brings people from across the state to celebrate all that we've accomplished together, and this is our biggest year yet! Equality NC Foundation's signature annual event, it provides critical operating funds to help us keep working for change in the Tar Heel State.
This year Equality NC Foundation will be honoring Sen. Julia Boseman (pictured at right) for her courageous leadership in getting the School Violence Prevention Act passed. Special recognition will also be given to Winston-Salem's young Kate Mabe for drawing statewide media attention to how it feels to be bullied and to the strength of character our young people need to move forward in a tough world.

I wonder just how Ms Sen Julia will be honor, (at what $$$$)
