Disciples Center at Tawakoni
The leadership of Disciples Center invites you and your church to participate in the Gala Lunch and live Auction on Saturday, Oct. 15, at Tawakoni. This year’s focus capital improvement project is a new tractor with a fundraising goal of $20,000.
A few years ago, a group of dedicated lay leaders in the region listened to you and determined that there are three goals for our Region to be successful. The first goal is to do mission through the Disciples Center at Tawakoni, to provide comprehensive and/or holistic programming for all ages, and to increase its visibility with corporate and non-corporate entities. The time is now to make this goal a priority for the future of our region.
To support the auction, the Gala Planning Team is seeking auction donations such as gift cards or gift certificates, individually wrapped and sealed baked goods, handcrafted items, sports team memorabilia and/or tickets, and themed gift baskets or prize packs.
Watch for virtual auction sites that will be available through both the Tawakoni website and Regional website landing page.
Youth service opportunity for camp registration credit
We want to offer another opportunity outside of giving donations to the auction. We can support our campers through a new program; “Connect A Camper.” This program is a way for you or your church to provide scholarships for our DOC campers. We want to eliminate the barrier of cost for families and churches and connect as many campers at Disciples Center at Tawakoni as possible.
Learn more detailed information at www.kansasdisciples.org/tawakoni-gala.
Campers can save money on next year’s camp registration through two opportunities:
- Collecting donations for the 2022 Tawakoni Gala and Auction. For each item, we will credit you $0.50 on every dollar of your donation’s value up to $400, meaning you would get $200 off your camp fee.
- Sign up to work a shift at the Gala. We will have two opportunities, one for Chi Rho/Pre High/CYF and one for our 2023 Junior Campers. Each shift will have a few tasks and when those tasks are done you will receive $50 off registration next year.
All donated items need to be accompanied by a donation form that is available for download from our website. Drop off items at any regional office. Donations and registrations are due by Sept. 28. Online registration is open. You chose how you want to participate — in-person, virtually, or both.
Cost is:
- $8 for a virtual bidder ticket
- $48 for an adult in-person gala ticket
- $20 for a child in-person gala ticket
- $280 for table sponsorship (6 seats).
