The Heart of Gold Ball is Hephzibah’s largest fundraiser of the year, and notwithstanding the challenges of staging the gala during the pandemic, the organization is dreaming big, setting its sights on raising a record amount to benefit the vulnerable children and families it serves. Mary will be honored for her extraordinary commitment to the vital work of the Hephzibah Children’s Association. The award is presented each year to honor individuals, organizations or corporations that have enhanced the well-being of disadvantaged children at the local and national level.

“Mary has become an ambassador for Hephzibah speaking honestly and openly about her care for our work and the children that we serve. We are grateful for her passion and partnership, and of course the children just love her delicious cookie recipes!” - Merry Beth Sheets, Hephzibah’s Executive Director.

The event starts at 6:00 PM in a virtual banquet hall where you can enjoy a beverage in the company of fellow Hephzibah supporters. The main program for the evening will be streamed on YouTube starting at 7 PM, and include a live auction and fun, interactive games.
