Anniversaries Gala

The Colonial Dames of America held a white-tie gala on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at a Private Club in New York City, featuring The Bob Hardwick Sound.

This was the Society’s first such gathering since 2019 and marked the official launch of the MVHM&G Anniversaries Fundraising Campaign. All proceeds from the gala benefited this campaign.

 A Celebration of Legacy

Held as part of the CDA Annual Weekend, the gala was more than a fundraiser. It was a celebration of our Society —of all we mean to each other, all we have accomplished, and all we hope to achieve together. Thank you to all who were able to join us for a special evening of cocktails, dinner, dancing, and fun.
