Westwood Community Chest Announces Details for 2025 Gala of Giving

Westwood Community Chest, the volunteer-run nonprofit organization that works to improve the well-being and quality of life of Westwood residents, has announced it will be holding its annual Gala of Giving on Saturday, March 29, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Norfolk Golf Club.

While year’s event is being described as a downsizing from the Galas of the recent past, attendees can still expect to find a cocktail party with heavy appetizers, a wine pull, and silent auction. An added attraction this year will be local artists. 

 “The Community Chest is so excited to be able to have a night where we are able to celebrate all that is Westwood, and shine a light on the fact that even in Westwood, there are needs. Watching our community show up and raise each other up is spectacular,” said Theresa Laham, event co-chair.

 “We can’t wait to connect with so many of our neighbors,” said Brooke Brown, another event co-chair.

The Gala is Westwood Community Chest's annual fundraiser. The non-profit offers temporary financial assistance to Westwood individuals and families in need. Through confidential grants, the Community Chest helps grantees with summer camp registrations, utility and housing payments, medical expenses, and more.
