The Eden Calhoun Charitable Fund Gala will be a night to remember! Come get dressed up, eat a delicious dinner, take a look at our amazing silent auction pieces, participate in a 50/50 drawing if desired, hear speeches from Eden's surgeons all the way from Houston, and enjoy a delightful afternoon out supporting a wonderful cause. We have Pell City's very own Jared Brasher as the Gala's entertainment!
​
Doors will open at 6:30 where appetizers will be available as you walk in, as you can mingle and nibble to start the night. A wine bar will be available, as well. Walk around the silent auction room and take a look at our wonderful items who have been donated by so many generous people! If you want to take a chance at a 50/50 drawing, you can buy tickets for that. All winners will be announced at the end of the event. New ECCF Merchandise will be available for purchase as well!
​
Dinner will be catered and served to the guests' tables by Butts to Go around 7:00-7:15. Guests have the option of choosing a 9 oz Sliced Brisket with mashed potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts, or a Smoked Bone-In Chicken Breast with green beans and a sweet potato. An option of Banana Pudding or Chocolate Lava Cake will be served for dessert as well.
