Friendship. Transformation. Philanthropy.

2026 Goodwill Gala | Friday, November 20 | 7 PM
Anderson Conference Center | Macon, GA

For over five decades, Goodwill has been a driving force in Middle Georgia—opening doors, transforming lives, and strengthening our community from the inside out.

This November, step into a night of friendship, transformation, and philanthropy as we gather to celebrate the impact we’ve made—and the future we’re building for good.

Join Macon’s most passionate change-makers, community leaders, and longtime supporters as we come together to carry the mission forward.

Experience the Magic:

  • An Elevated Culinary Journey
    Crafted by the talented chefs and students of Helms College’s Polly Long Denton School of Hospitality
  • Live Music & Meaningful Moments
    An evening filled with energy, inspiration, and stories that stay with you
  • A Gathering For Good
    Celebrate the power of connection, generosity, and lasting change
  • Defy Ordinary Style
    Black tie optional. Classical glamour, festive flair, and enchanting details encouraged.

Together, we’ll be unlimited. Your support fuels real impact—creating pathways to employment, education, and independence for people across Middle Georgia and the CSRA. The funds raised won’t just make a difference today—they’ll transform lives for good.

Be there when Macon comes together—for good.

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.
