Adult and Teen Challenge Virginia
Annual New Beginnings Gala
.jpg)
The New Beginnings Gala will be an evening to join our hearts together and celebrate the transformation that has taken place in the lives of women and men who have found freedom from addictions and life-controlling problems while in our programs. It will also be an evening to join arms with the mission of the Adult and Teen Challenge Virginia’s long-term residential and non-residential recovery support programs, raising awareness and support for this vital organization.
The New Beginnings Gala is extra special this year as we will celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Beauty for Ashes Women and Children’s Home. What a beautiful impact this ministry has had on so many women and children throughout this decade. There is much to be celebrated!
​
You will enjoy an evening of food and fellowship, inspirational personal testimonies, a student and graduate choir, silent auction, volunteer and community partner recognition, gala sponsor recognition, and a message of gratitude from our founders - Mike and Cindy Zello.
​
The New Beginnings Gala will provide living proof that freedom from addiction and life-controlling problems is possible. Please share and invite friends, family, and colleagues. This evening promises to be “life-changing” special for all who attend.
