this past september we had the pleasure of working with ahip on their safe at home gala for the second year in a row. ahip believes that everyone should be safe at home. they work year-round to provide emergency repairs, home rehabs, and energy-efficiency upgrades to families in charlottesville and albemarle county. their mission is to ensure safe, affordable homes for our neighbors in need. each year they throw a fundraising gala and auction to raise money to run their amazing program.
we have the pleasure of working with ashley patel & the ahip team to create a themed gala at castle hill cider. this year's theme was inspired by the tastes and sights of morocco! our wonderful vendor team included ms events, dominique attaway photography, castle hill cider, vitae spirits and big ray the the kool kats.
