The Lantern Gala

Event Details

On Thursday, December 5th, 2024 we will be hosting our 4th Annual Lantern Gala at a NEW location– The Kettle Room at Cabarrus Brewing Company. We look forward to this event every year. We will be kicking off the evening with a Social Hour from 6-7PM; there will be a photo booth with a professional photographer, a cash bar, music, and time to mingle. We’ll begin the event promptly at 7PM with a plated dinner followed by a presentation. We hope you’ll come out to join us to celebrate the wins of 2024 and hear more about what you can expect from The Lantern Project in 2025.

You can purchase individual or couples tickets for general admission. If you have been invited as a guest of a Table Sponsor, please be sure to connect with your Table Sponsor for a promo code to collect your (free) ticket. Registering with a ticket ensures that we will have your preferred meal accounted for, and will speed up the check-in process greatly.
