The annual Catholic Charities Gala is a critical event which allows the community to celebrate the great work of staff and volunteers while also providing financial support for the organization to ensure high quality services can continue to be provided. Over the past eight years, over $1 million has been raised through the annual gala. The event was first held in the Cardinal Gibbons High School gymnasium in 2011. Over time the event outgrew this space, attracting over 400 guests a year, and was moved to other locations including the Downtown Raleigh Marriott and is now held at the Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley. Catholic Charities has been honored to have speakers such as Duke Football Coach David Cutcliffe and President and CEO of Catholic Relief Services, Dr. Carolyn Woo, share in this tremendous event. In 2018, a new format for the event was adopted with additional emphasis being placed on making this a celebration.
