Fayetteville, NC — Greater Life of Fayetteville, a dedicated community organization, will hold its annual “An Evening with the Arts: A Cultural Experience” gala, bringing together community members, business leaders, faith-based organizations, and local supporters for an evening of cultural celebration and meaningful impact. The event, Saturday, November 9, 2024, aims to showcase the beauty of Fayetteville’s diverse cultures while supporting programs that uplift local children through tutoring and social skills development.

The gala, held to promote cultural diversity and community unity, will offer guests a vibrant experience filled with live performances, art displays, and an exploration of the rich cultural backgrounds represented in Fayetteville. Attendees can expect to experience a fusion of local artistry, cuisine, and entertainment that honors the unique cultural contributions of the community.

Greater Life of Fayetteville was founded by a retired government contractor and single mother of three, who, after facing the challenges of single motherhood and fostering children for over a decade, wanted to give back by supporting others facing similar struggles. With degrees in business, family Christian education, and a master’s degree in public administration, she is committed to helping young people and families navigate life’s challenges and create brighter futures. Her dedication to this vision was born from her personal journey and belief in the transformative power of community support.

The organization now plays a significant role in the community by providing essential resources such as afterschool tutoring for students in grades one through eight. The program, aimed at assisting young students who need academic support and social skill-building, is designed to strengthen their educational foundation and foster personal growth. This initiative responds to a pressing need within the community, offering children an encouraging environment to learn, connect, and build the skills necessary to thrive.

With the gala, Greater Life of Fayetteville hopes to raise both awareness and funds to further expand its tutoring program, ensuring that more children can access the resources they need to succeed academically and socially. The proceeds from this event will directly support the organization’s mission to make a positive impact on children’s lives and help them overcome the obstacles they face.

“We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to excel, regardless of their circumstances,” says the founder of Greater Life of Fayetteville, Georgeanna Pinckney, “Through this gala, we’re celebrating the richness of our community’s diversity and investing in a future where every child has the tools and support they need to reach their potential.”

The gala is open to all community members and supporters who wish to make a difference in the lives of local children while enjoying a night of cultural expression. Tickets are available on the organization’s website at www.greaterlifeoffayetteville.org.
