Inaugural We Are Washington Gala
We Are Washington, a local non-profit whose mission is to cultivate the youth of our community into motivated and upstanding individuals, hosted its inaugural “We Are One: We Are Washington Gala” on May 9th, 2024, at Crossties Event Venue. The non-profit is housed at Washington Community Development Center, which was the old Booker T. Washington High School, and the building itself has been transformed into a hub for life skill development, sporting events, tutoring, community events, and more. Further, the center is home to a number of other non-profits that are housed there rent-free.
The gala benefitting We Are Washington saw myriad business owners and community leaders attend to show their support for what the organization is doing in Texarkana. With both a live and silent auction, a singing performance from the kids’ choir at Washington, and a delicious meal from Verona, the night was certainly one to remember.
