The Anne Springs Close Greenway is preparing to trade hiking boots for high heels as the Greenway Ladies Guild presents the 10th annual Green Gala. This year, the signature fundraising event embraces the silver screen with a dazzling “Black & White Oscars” theme, promising an evening where cinematic allure meets serious philanthropy.
Presented by Founders Federal Credit Union and The Stone Man, the 2026 Green Gala invites guests to immerse themselves in a night of timeless elegance. Organized by the Greenway Ladies Guild, the Anne Springs Close Greenway, and the inaugural Green Gala Host Committee, every detail has been handpicked with intention to evoke the magic of Old Hollywood.
A Night of “Black & White” Luxury
Held at the historic Founders Dairy Barn, the event is designed to be an enchanting experience from start to finish. Guests will enjoy themed culinary delights, an open bar, and live entertainment curated to set the perfect tone for the evening.
The festivities will culminate in a high-energy DJ dance party, but the heart of the evening lies in its charitable mission. Through exciting silent and live auctions featuring exclusive items and unforgettable experiences, attendees will raise funds to support the Anne Springs Close Greenway. The proceeds are vital to the organization’s mission of connecting people to nature through recreation, education, and conservation efforts across the region.
Ticket Experiences
Guests can choose between two distinct ways to experience the glamour:
For those seeking an intimate and exclusive experience, the Seated Dinner ticket offers early entry at 5:00 PM. Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception with live music followed by a three-course dinner on the tented patio of the Dairy Barn, prepared by the Greenway’s talented catering team. The dinner will feature special guest speakers, including the evening’s host, CN2’s Lucas McFadden. This ticket includes all benefits of the Premier experience.
The Premier experience begins at 7:00 PM with a red carpet arrival. Guests will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres, desserts, an open bar, and access to the auctions and entertainment. The night concludes with a celebration on the dance floor.
Supporting the Mission
While the night celebrates the glitz of the Oscars, the impact is grounded in the earth. Every ticket purchased and auction item won directly supports the preservation of the Greenway’s 2,100 acres of nature.
Tickets are non-refundable. For assistance or more information regarding the event, interested parties can contact Alysha Brown at the Anne Springs Close Greenway.
