The Green Dress Gala - 2026

FIVE Event Center, Minneapolis, MN

The Green Dress Gala was born when a college friend tried on a beautiful green dress but could not afford it, and had nowhere to wear it.

After we all convinced her she needed it, we fundraised to purchase her the dress and decided to host a gala. We figured it should mean something; thus, the Green Dress Gala was born.

With speakers from Agape Oasis, music, food, raffle drawings, and raising awareness for domestic violence survivors, this is more than a gala. It’s our purpose.
