I wanted to take a moment today to chat about one of my favorite organizations…The National Inclusion Project. Most people who read here are familiar with the organization and know the amazing job they do each day and the impact they have made by ensuring that children nationwide can experience all that life has to offer.
Today, the conversation is about the Circle of Heroes Champions Gala and some of the ways each of us can help.
For many of you, attending the Gala is something you plan to do. If not, I hope you will consider it again. The week-end event is always a highlight of my year!

It will be so exciting and inspirational to meet the 2015 Champions Gala Honorees. You will return home with a determination to see Inclusion for All Children the norm!
One of the things I am excited about this year is something everyone can participate in. This year, the Project will be selling program advertisements. This is a great way to celebrate the Champions Gala. Why not write a note of congratulations to the Project and use a Super Hero theme. The ad can be from an individual, a family, an organization, or a group of friends. And, even if you can’t attend the Gala, you can support the evening! The following is a list of the sizes and prices of the Program ads:
Full Page Color Ad (5.25″w x 8.25”h) – $500
Full Page B/W Ad (5.25″w x 8.25”h) – $300
Back Cover Ad (Full Page Color) – $1200 (1)
Inside Front Cover Ad (Full Page Color) – $750 (1)
1/2 Page Color Ad (5.25″ w x 4.125″h) – $275
1/2 Page B/W Ad (5.25″w x 4.125″h) – $175
1/8 Page Color Ad (2.5”w x 1.75”h) – $75 (limited)
Inside Back Cover Ad (Full Page Color) – $700 (1)
Finished program size is 5.5” x 8.5”.
As you can see…these prices should make it easy to fill the program with congratulations to the Project and have fun with our Super Heroes!

Are you planning to attend the Gala?
Oh how I wish I could go 🙁 Last year I set a goal to myself that I will be attending this year's gala but unfortunately my plan fell short… I'm sure it will be a wonderful event and such fun to celebrate another milestone for the National Inclusion Project. More power to Clay and Diane and all the people behind NIP!!!
Thanks as always Martha!!!
How short? Do you have to travel?
Yes. I am from the Philippines and aside from the travel I have to secure a visa first which is kinda tricky because there's no guarantee that it will be approved. I have friends who were denied visa so I'm a little bit apprehensive. Thanks for asking Katie:)
I love the Gala- I couldn't attend last year due to finances but I am super determined to attend this year….now if I could just get that gold or platinum ticket….{sigh}!
Can't wait to attend the Gala in September. We are driving down from Ontario. Hope to see lots of you there….It's just so much fun, and a GREAT CAUSE!!!!!
Hugs, Judy
I know it's for a good cause, but it is kind of expensive, except for the silver ticket. I would be traveling from NJ. Maybe someday I'll get there. I hear that it is wonderful.
I am coming!! Can't wait!!
i wold have loved to go to this gala but im un able to atend the gala
