Kiwanis Club of Burbank
20th Annual Gala
July 22nd, 2017
Honoring Marsha Jackson – Hughes Family – Romano Family
Bennett Family & Special Gratitude to All Prior Honorees!
The Kiwanis Club of Burbank proudly announces its 20th Annual Gala, honoring Gala Event Chair Marsha Jackson and The Hughes, Romano and Bennett families
Nearly 20 years ago, Marsha Jackson brought the Kiwanis Annual Gala to life. This was a completely new concept for the club – needing many skills and specialized experience that we just did not have available in our membership at the time.
Realizing that, Marsha recruited her extended family– who did have the very specialized skills and experience having run these types of events for a non-profit in their area. Out of sheer charity and love of family entered the Hughes, Romano and Bennett Families, traveling each year from as far as Florida, to help make each Kiwanis Club of Burbank Gala a success!
They all have been an integral part of each Gala – teaching and supporting the club in our efforts to help Burbank children. The 19 prior galas have raised over $1,000,000 – the vast majority of those funds going directly back into the Burbank Community.
This, our 20th annual Gala, will be the last one chaired by Marsha Jackson. We, as a club and a community, want to thank Marsha and everyone in her family, who for 20 years have worked so tirelessly for Burbank’s children.
This is our Celebration of 20 years of successful Fundraising! This event is the one that helped us grow and enables us help our community so effectively. We are also Celebrating the Support and Generosity of Every Prior Honoree – all of them invited to attend. Join us in our celebration!
