Great News!!  
Barry Manilow Announces " A Gift Of Love IV"

 GFF is thrilled to have been chosen as one of 25 local charities to benefit from Barry Manilow's "A Gift of Love IV" concert series this coming December! And while December may seem so far away as we plunge into our triple-digit summer, we've learned that this in-demand concert series sells out fast.

There are numerous levels of tickets and sponsorships available, but in order for GFF to benefit you need to designate us as your charity of choice when making your purchases

 
The Girlfriend Factor will Benefit when You Purchase these Special Tickets to Barry Manilow's 
2017 A GIFT OF LOVE IV 
Benefit Concerts at the McCallum Theatre.  

You can support  The Girlfriend Factor  by purchasing tickets.  
 
Tickets will not be available at the McCallum box office.
 
We are extremely excited about this opportunity and hope you will select The Girlfriend Factor as your designated charity.  Thank you in advance for your support!
