MICC’s Annual Gala has a long tradition of being, casual, fast paced, theme based. The tradition continues this year as we host our Virtual Gala on March 13, 2021 with the theme of “Silver Celebration: 25 Years of MICC,” recognizing 25 years of MICC organizational and participant accomplishments.
​
What does a virtual event mean? We want to take this opportunity to share MICC with as many people as possible, so the event is FREE. That means everyone can be a "table captain" and invite as many of your friends, family and network as you like.

The role of an ambassador is a critical piece to the success of a virtual event. An ambassador should have genuine passion and enthusiasm for not only the mission of the organization, yet also the event. This base level of support is key to driving energy and excitement leading up to the virtual event date, as well as during the event. You’ll see that as an ambassador, your impact can be exponential, inspiring others to engage and “fill the virtual room”.

As a Gala Ambassador, we ask that you commit to inviting at least 25 people (in honor of MICC’s 25 years of serving individuals and families) to join you at the MICC Gala.

As an incentive to join our event as an ambassador, you will:
  • Have your name entered into a drawing to be held the night of the event for a $250 Best Buy gift card.
  • A personal Zoom room will be created for you to host your virtual table the night of the Gala.
