Individual tickets available for PACE’s Laurel Leadership Gala

PACE Enterprises is now offering individual tickets for the inaugural Laurel Leadership Gala scheduled for March 25 at the Morgantown Marriott at Waterfront Place.

Anyone wanting a ticket or information about the gala, can contact Joe Lefkay at 304-983-1017 or jlefkay@paceenterprises.org.

Tickets are $150 per person. Sponsorships are also stillavailable.

The Laurel Leadership Gala, which will help kick-off the Vision 2025 Campaign, will be a semi-formal dinner and auction offering items up for bid, including an African Safari trip, three nights at a Nashville home and a gourmet dinner for eight.

One thing separating this night of fun from other fundraising events and auctions, is the “Laurel Leadership Award.”

Mon Health System CEO David Goldberg will be the inaugural recipient of this award. Goldberg and Mon Health are continually helping the local community and work with PACE on a regular basis to provide good job opportunities for people with disabilities.

PACE plans to add more workspace to provide more jobs for those with disabilities, as well as independent housing.

PACE recently established the first Special Needs Pooled Trust in West Virginia as part of the campaign.

PACE helps people with disabilities find independence and community participation through gainful employment. PACE operates several businesses that employ people with disabilities and works with other businesses to find placement for workers.

PACE is licensed as a Community Rehabilitation Program and a Behavioral Mental Health Center, which means that all programs are following regulations through regular audits and inspections.
