By rssfeeds-admin The gala, themed ‘A Tribute to Dolly’, aims to raise funds for youth opportunity and literacy development programs benefiting children in Acadia, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Martin, and Vermilion parishes.
“What could be more fun than a party with a Dolly Parton theme?” said Heather Blanchard, President/CEO of United Way of Acadiana. “With her work to support early childhood literacy, it seemed a perfect tie in for this event that will help us continue, and even expand, our own work in early childhood development and literacy.”
“At Home Bank, serving our community is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we’re proud to support United Way of Acadiana’s inaugural Rhinestone Rodeo Gala,” said Judi LeJeune, Director of Marketing at Home Bank.
The Rhinestone Rodeo Gala promises an evening filled with Southern bites and drinks, silent and live auctions, lively music, raffle prizes, and fun merchandise, all celebrating the spirit of Dolly Parton.
Funds raised during the event will support United Way of Acadiana’s youth opportunity programs, such as Resources for Developing Minds, Early Head Start, and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
These programs aim to provide educational materials and resources to children, such as RFDM bags filled with books and toys for newborns, and books through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
The Rhinestone Rodeo Gala is expected to make a significant impact on local youth programs, enhancing literacy and educational opportunities for children in the Acadiana region. Tickets and tables are limited, encouraging early purchase for those interested in supporting this cause.
