The [UN]GALA will also feature a live auction offering exciting opportunities including a visit to the Sama Center in Nairobi and a safari in Masai Mara. 100% of the funds from each ticket sold goes towards the training and employment of low-income people all over the world. If there was ever a time to break out the space pants, this is it—costumes are encouraged!
