The Heritage of Hope Award will be presented during the Service League’s Gala and Benefit for the Children scheduled for April 30, 2022, at the Timbers on Etowah. The event’s presenting sponsor, Synovus Bank, has partnered with the Service League of Cherokee County for a fun evening filled with a live band, dancing, heavy hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and raffle. The Service League chose MUST Ministries as the benefactor of this year’s inaugural Gala & Benefit. Seeing the amount of homelessness in the county, they are wanting to directly impact the need for housing. To learn more about the event and purchase tickets, visit the Gala & Benefit Website.
