It is was with great honor and enthusiasm to host our 3rd Annual  Diamond Gala Fundraising Project which served as a fundraiser for our Fearfully & Wonderfully Made Diamond Dinner, held every October. During this signature October event, we uplift and celebrate women who have experienced abuse, domestic violence, addiction, homelessness, suicidal ideation, depression, and other life-altering challenges. Our goal is to honor their resilience, restore dignity, and provide a evening of beauty, connection, and inspiration.

 

This year we took an evening  of elegance to the next level by providing an exquisite All-White Affair, Saturday, May 23  at the Wichita Marriott, designed to provide a night of sophistication, celebration, and exceptional dining. There were two different ticket experience; VIP & General Admission. The VIP supporters experienced a private VIP Social Hour which included a 360 photo booth, hors d'oevres, non-alcoholic beverages, and wonderful fellowship. During the time of the event they experience a grand white carpet entrance, VIP reserved seating, and a two-meat entree'.  The General admission supporters also experienced a 360 photo booth and open seating.  

 

The  ambiance of the room was breathtaking as we basked in the soft sounds of a harpist also dressed for the occasion. A few ladies who attended the Fearfully & Wonderfully Made Diamond Dinner in October, was able to share the testimony of how the Dinner impacted their lives.  Minster Annie Montgomery was our keynote speaker and she did an awesome job. We also  had Pastor Roderick Houston, Pastor of Greater Harvest Tabernacle Christian Fellowship, give a couple selections on his saxophone which he played under God's anointing.  

Seeing everyone in their white was definitely a night to remember. 

 

Special THANK YOU  to all who purchased a ticket or gave a donation. Also a special thanks to the IAAD Board Members, Committee Members and all who volunteered. THANK YOU!!!
