We cordially invite you to our upcoming "Gala Light" event this coming Spring. We'll be spotlighting our programs and bringing to the light the impact of our students and families. This fundraiser is our first ever Gala event, so we hope you can join us for this special occasion to celebrate the radiance of the NGS community.
Ticket information will be available shortly, but for now, please save the date on your calendars for April 27, 2025. We hope to see you there for what promises to be an illuminating event!
