Gathering for Good: Welcome to Galentine’s Gala, Co.

What started as one event, one idea, and a desire to do something good has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined.

Today, we are so excited to officially welcome you to the new online home of Galentine’s Gala, Co.

As our organization continues to grow, so does our vision for what we can do within our community and beyond. We knew it was time to create a space that truly represents who we are, where we came from, the organizations we support, and where we hope to go next.

More Than a Gala

Despite our name, Galentine’s Gala, Co. has become so much more than one night in February.

Our organization began with the Galentine’s Gala, an event created to bring women together while raising funds and awareness for the Barren River Area Safe Space, Inc. What began as an idea in 2020 became a reality with our first community gala in February 2024.

Since then, our community has shown us just how much can happen when people come together for a cause.

Galentine’s Gala, Co. is now a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating thoughtfully curated fundraising events that connect people with organizations doing meaningful work. Through our events, partnerships, sponsors, volunteers, donors, and attendees, our goal is simple: gather people together, create experiences that matter, and turn those experiences into real impact.

And we are just getting started.

A Place to Gather

As we expand our events and begin supporting additional nonprofit organizations, we wanted our website to become more than a place to purchase a ticket.

We want it to be a place to gather.

Here, you can learn about our upcoming events, discover the nonprofit organizations those events support, and see the impact our community is helping create.

You can learn more about our story—how Galentine’s Gala, Co. began, the experiences that shaped its foundation, and the heart behind why we continue to do this work.

You can meet the people behind the scenes who take an event from the first idea scribbled on paper all the way through the final moments of the night and, most importantly, the delivery of funds to the organizations we serve.

You can also find opportunities to get involved. Whether that means volunteering at an event, becoming a sponsor, partnering with us, donating, attending, or simply helping us spread the word, there is a place for everyone in what we are building.

Stay Connected

Our website and social media will work together to keep you connected to everything happening at Galentine’s Gala, Co.

We’ll share upcoming events, ticket information, fundraising goals, volunteer opportunities, nonprofit spotlights, sponsor and community partner features, behind-the-scenes moments, event recaps, stories of impact, and updates on what’s coming next.

And through The Insider, we’ll have a place to share a little more—the stories behind the events, the people and organizations doing incredible work, and the moments that remind us why community matters so much.

Our website will also give you a direct way to contact us. Have an organization you think we should know about? Want to partner with us? Interested in volunteering or sponsoring an event? Have an idea you think could make an impact? We want to hear from you.

This Is Only the Beginning

Galentine’s Gala, Co. may have started with two friends and one event, but it has grown because of every person who decided to show up.

Every ticket purchased. Every sponsorship. Every donated item. Every volunteer hour. Every shared post. Every table filled. Every dollar given.

Those individual acts of generosity have become something much bigger.

As we step into this next chapter, our mission remains at the center of everything we do: to create great events that bring people together while raising funds, awareness, and support for nonprofit organizations doing good in the world.

We believe giving can bring people together. We believe an event can be both beautiful and meaningful. And we believe that when a community gathers around a cause, incredible things can happen.

So, welcome to our new home.

Explore. Learn our story. Find an event. Meet the organizations we support. Volunteer. Give. Get involved.

Most importantly, gather with us.

Because we may have started it, but our community is the reason it continues.

Welcome to Galentine’s Gala, Co. We’re so glad you’re here.

With Love - Morgan Bandy & Ashley Stuart
