DeNeuville Learning Center; Gala Auction

My name is Madison Bickerstaff and this is my experience with DeNeuville Learning Center's yearly Gala! DLC provides educational programs and support services to adult female students with limited resources. They offer classes in High School Equivalency; English as a Second Language; Citizenship Test Preparation; Computer Basics; and Sewing. They also offer employment and career counseling, tutoring, and monthly enrichment workshops. They serve more than 300 women each year and provide childcare for over 75 children. Every year, the Learning Center has a beautiful Gala and Auction to help raise awareness and money for the school. I received the opportunity to help run the Gala this past year through the Honors Program at Christian Brothers University. During my service time, I helped decorate the venue, prepare meals, and serve food during the Gala. The amount of people and donations made floored me! It was so heartwarming to see so many people there for one cause.
