2021 Virtual Gala FAQs

How can I Join a Virtual Gala Team or Create a Virtual Gala Impact Team?
Before you stream the 2021 Evergreen Gala on Saturday, April 24th at 7 PM, you can help ensure this year’s gala is our most successful yet!

  1. Create your own Impact Team: (think: your own virtual gala table!): Once you’ve created and personalized your fundraising page, choose “create a team” to be “team captain” and invite others to fundraise as part of your team OR simply share your fundraising page to invite others to donate to your “virtual table.”
  2. Join a gala fundraising team or individual: Choose “find or join a team” to search for a team or individual who’s already fundraising on behalf of EvergreenHealth. Once you’ve navigated to their page, you will be able to “join” and fundraise alongside them or “donate” and share to help them boost their page.
  3. Tell your story: Whether you are creating your own team or joining an existing one, follow the guidance on our homepage for instructions to craft your personal fundraising page. Encourage others to donate by sharing your story – why does investing in EvergreenHealth and those cared for in the NICU matter to you?
  4. Share with others: Help us reach out to the community by sharing your page with friends, colleagues, and on social media and using the hashtag #EvergreenGala21 – what a way to make an impact!
