Wellspring Living has announced their annual Gala set for Sunday, October 23, 2022 at the Cobb Galleria in Atlanta. The Gala is the organization's largest fundraiser in support of survivors of sexual exploitation and those at risk. This year’s event, titled “On the Bright Side,” will celebrate the powerful, transformative stories of youth and women who have walked from darkness to light.

"Last year we celebrated Wellspring Living's 20th Anniversary and the Gala had an incredible energy about it. That energy has carried on throughout 2022 and we are thrilled to join with our partners and supporters to celebrate more hope provided and more transformation experienced," shared Founder and Executive Director Mary Frances Bowley.

"We are building upon that momentum at this year's Gala and look toward an exciting next era for the organization in increasing our capacity, deepening our impact, and serving even more survivors in the days, months and years to come."

Companies, organizations and individuals from across the state have joined the growing fleet of supporters. Sponsors include: Delta Air Lines, The Guy Millner Family Foundation, Primerica, UPS, The Arthur M Blank Family Foundation, CROSBY by Mollie Burch, Georgia-Pacific, IHG, Northside Hospital, Kappa Delta, Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, Deloitte, Ironwood Insurance Services, Smith & Howard, and Winter Construction. Together, these groups have already committed over $130,000 to date for the event. The annual event typically brings in over $400,000 to fund programming and critical services for those survivors in the organization’s care. Sponsorships are still available.
