Say the word “gala” and visions of triple-digit ticket prices might come to mind. Tickets for the Grand Purple Gala set for Saturday, May 18, however, are priced in the mid-double-digits, thanks to corporate and individual sponsors. “We want it to be affordable,” said gala president Coleen Frazier. “We want caregivers to be there too.” Folks who buy tickets will be admitted to the gala, which has the theme “Spring Into the Light” this year. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Cultural Center at Willow Valley Communities, 900 Willow Valley Lakes Drive, Willow Street. The dress code is spring semiformal, and only folks age 21 or older will be admitted. See Grand Purple Gala pg 2
