About the Opportunit iesEach year, BARCC hosts two major fundraising events? the Champions for Change Gala & Auct ion (November 3, 2017) and the Walk for Change (April 2018). These events draw two very dist inct groups of BARCC supporters. The Gala is a cocktail at t ire event complete with high-level silent and live auct ions, dinner and dancing. It boasts an attendance of 650 people ranging from our most generous donors and sponsors to our incredibly dedicated volunteers and staff (see breakdown below).
