It's the Home Stretch!

We are coming down the straightaway to the home stretch and the Black & Gold Gala 2023 is quickly approaching.

In just a month, you could be enjoying cocktails and appetizers while bidding on amazing silent auction items in the Bel Alton Dining Commons.

If you attended the Gala in 2022, you were treated to a delicious meal from Mindy's Catering. Attend this year and once again, you will enjoy a fabulous dinner in the Panther Athletics Center.

After dinner, be ready to raise your paddle and support PVI.

Don't get left at the gate! Be sure to get your tickets soon for Black & Gold Gala 2023

Get your tickets and get ready for a memorable evening in support of #yOURPVIcommunity.
