14th Annual Arc Benefit Gala

Join us Saturday, September 26th at the Hilton Memphis for our 14th Annual Arc Benefit Gala. This year's theme is "Strengthening the Community Through Families and Partners." Our VIP reception begins at 6:00 p.m. with doors opening at 6:45 p.m. for all other attendees.

This year, Shelby County Mayor AC Wharton will be our keynote speaker and Action News 5 anchor Joe Birch will moderate the event.

The Gala is our flagship fundraising event. The funds raised at the gala and our other events throughout the year are applied to our goal of empowering people with disabilities to acheive their full potential. Through our three departments - Advocacy, Career Development and Job Placement (CDJP), and Family Services, we strive to improve the lives of citizens in the Mid-South by helping them realize their uniqueness, worth, and full inclusion in society.

Each year at the Gala, awards and honors are bestowed upon individuals, groups, organizations, and businesses who have given their utmost to the community in various categories. This year, Community Recognition Awards will be presented in the following eight categories: Distinguished COmmunity Service, Educator of the Year, Employee of the Year, Employer of the Year, Empowerment, Humanitarian of the Year, Outstanding Artist/Performer of the Year, and Professional of the Year.

All tickets include admission to the gala as well as a plated dinner. VIP tickets also include the VIP reception and preferred seating during the event. During the VIP reception, you'll be able to meet and greet Mayor Wharton and Joe Birch, as well as network with other VIPs. Hors d'oeuvres will be served.

You can purchase tickets below or call (901) 327-2473. Corporate Sponsorships are also available. We are also accepting donation for our live and silent auctions. For more information, please email Eugenia Murphy or call her at (901) 507-8586.
