One Night. Fifty Years. A Legacy Worth Celebrating.

2025 Goodwill Gala | Friday, November 21 | 7 PM
Anderson Conference Center | Macon, GA

For five decades, Goodwill has been a driving force in Middle Georgia—helping neighbors rise, students thrive, and families build brighter futures. This November, we’re bringing it all together for one unforgettable night.

Join Macon’s most passionate changemakers, community leaders, and longtime supporters as we celebrate 50 years of impact—and come together to carry the mission forward.

Experience:
• An elevated culinary journey by the chefs and students of Helms College’s Polly Long Denton School of Hospitality
• Live music and heartfelt moments that will stay with you
• A powerful gathering of purpose, pride, and community spirit

This isn’t just another gala. It’s a milestone moment.
And your seat at the table matters.

Dress to shine—golden glam, vintage flair, or iconic era style encouraged.

Be there when Macon celebrates what’s possible—together.

Individual tickets for open seating are available. Or, sponsor the gala and partner with us to host a group of friends, colleagues or clients and show Macon your support of the Goodwill mission.
