On
Thursday, February 1, 2007, the Coalition held its inaugural gala
event, Celebrating Partnerships: Honoring Sharan London’s
Ten Years of Service. The event was an overwhelming success,
with over 300 attendees including eight County Councilmembers, other
elected and government officials, prominent business leaders, generous
sponsors and supporters, and Coalition staff and clients. County
Executive Ike Leggett and Nan Roman, President and CEO of the National
Alliance to End Homelessness, were the keynote speakers. Celebrating Partnerships raised more than $100,000 in net proceeds, which will be used to establish the Endowment to End Homelessness. The purpose of the endowment is to support the Coalition’s effort to end homelessness in Montgomery County and to sustain its solutions. Once the goal of $1 million is attained, the endowment funds will provide a steady, future source of income, on which the Coalition can make commitments for initiatives that help to ensure that all members of our community have the dignity of a home.

for the Homeless is grateful Underwriters
