The 4th annual Gibson Custom Homes Gala—” Gibson Gala”—was held at the Kelowna Yacht Club over the Thanksgiving weekend, and this year's masquerade-themed event was a massive success. The gala saw guests don their dazzling attire and beautiful, intricate masks in line with our theme, adding to the night's mystery and an atmosphere charged with a ‘feel-good’ factor in giving back to the community. Aimed at raising funds for Okanagan’s Habitat For Humanity, we brought the community together for a spectacular evening filled with elegance, fun, and, most importantly, a shared purpose of making a difference. Raising the Bar for Habitat for Humanity The main purpose of our annual Gibson Gala is to raise funds for a community initiative, and this year’s turnout did not disappoint! Thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and attendees, the event raised over $15,000. These funds will make a significant impact, supporting Habitat for Humanity Okanagan and helping further its mission to provide affordable housing for families in need. Notable contributions came from sponsors like The Roof Doctor, whose ongoing support made a big impact on the event’s success. We were fortunate to be graced by the presence of Habitat for Humanity’s CEO, Andrea Manifold. She shared some thoughts on how close to her heart this cause is and that the funds raised would create meaningful change in the lives of those who need it most. Grooves & Grub It’s not a party without some tunes to bust a move to and some delectable food. This year, the talented DJ Invizible spun some great music for our guests, who had tons of fun. Amping up the merriment was a 360 video and photo booth from Flash and Frame for guests to take some memories home, and scrumptious appetizers provided by the Yacht Club.
Despite it being a long weekend, the turnout of guests was impressive. It only goes to show the community’s growing enthusiasm and generosity about supporting the community, which further fuels our initiative to host our Gibson Gala year after year. With this year’s gala being such a success, the Gibson Custom Homes team is already planning to elevate the event for next year. While details are still being finalized, there are talks of hosting it at a new venue, complete with a full dinner service. The team also plans to incorporate live music into the evening, and we’re sure the 2025 Gibson Gala will be even more grand and memorable, giving us all the more opportunity to bring on the excitement and entertainment in supporting worthy causes.
