BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Inside ArtsQuest in Bethlehem, it was A Night Under the Stars on Saturday.<\/p>\n
It was a celebration of resilience, hope and transformation at Bethlehem-based Cay Galgon Life House.<\/p>\n
The Bethlehem-based shelter helps mothers and pregnant women experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n
“It means a lot to see everyone come together and support the cause,” said Grace Hallman, a former Cay Galgon Life House resident. “When I was pregnant, I was homeless with my daughter and Life House gave us a home and a safe place for me to give birth to raise my daughter,” said Hallman.<\/p>\n
The 14th annual gala raises money for the shelter. Four-time Olympian, Joetta was the emcee.<\/p>\n
“I’m excited about being the emcee and supporting all the amazing work that they do at the Cay Galgon Life House,” said Joetta.<\/p>\n
One of popular parts was the cake auction featuring 30 different designs.<\/p>\n
“The money really goes to support the families that we serve in the community,” said Paula Albanese, executive director of Cay Galgon Life House.<\/p>\n
She helped organize the gala.<\/p>\n
“I hope that they’re just inspired by all the work that it takes for these young women to really overcome these hurdles,” said Albanese.<\/p>\n
Every dollar raised goes right back into helping the community.<\/p>\n
“I hope that they see they’re making a real difference,” said Hallman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Inside ArtsQuest in Bethlehem, it was A Night Under the Stars on Saturday.
