With a sold out crowd, Greensboro’s Guilford Green Foundation feted six months of marriage equality at its Guilford Green Gala and after party on March 28.
Over 400 people joined in the annual celebration this year dubbed the “wedding reception we’ve all been waiting for.” Held at The Proximity Hotel, attendees of the gala and after party were greeted with wedding-themed glitz and glamor as community members came together to raise funds supporting the foundation’s community grant programs and other work.
“It was completely fantastic,” says foundation Executive Director Brenna Ragghianti. “They were able to invite 35 of their closest friends and family and get married in a private way and celebrate publicly in the gala.”
