GOOD FOOD. GOOD PEOPLE. A VERY GOOD REASON TO GET TOGETHER.
This is not your traditional gala.
GATHER.
Project Avary has always been about bringing people together.
Gather around the table, play some trivia, and celebrate another year of Avary.
COME AS YOU ARE.
BRING SOMEONE NEW.
We’re excited to have you.
PLAY.
You know an Avary event will bring the fun.
THERE WILL BE TRIVIA.
THERE WILL BE A PLAY-DOH SHOWDOWN.
THERE WILL ABSOLUTELY BE QUESTIONABLE DANCING.
It’s a fun and friendly competition with serious bragging rights.
GIVE BACK.
Underneath all the fun is something we care deeply about.
AVARY YOUTH.
The community gathered in this room becomes part of the community Avary kids carry with them all year long.
BRING YOUR PEOPLE.
Your coworkers. Your neighbors. Your family. The trivia ringer. The good vibes bringer.
Everyone is welcome!
*Teams consist of up to 10 people. Bring a whole crew, gather a few friends or come solo—we’ll match you.
