Appell Center for the Performing Arts presents York's infamous fundraiser of the year... GALAvant!
August 2025 marks the beginning of the Strand Theatre’s 100th anniversary celebration, and we are planning a fundraiser so fabulous it’ll make the Roaring Twenties look like a quiet night in.
So mark your calendars for Saturday, May 9, 2026, when we’ll be rolling out the red carpet for a fundraising gala that’ll transport you straight into the glitz and glam of the Jazz Age. We are gearing up for something BIG. Like, Great-Gatsby-level big. You will not want to miss it!
Take a peek at past GALAvant experiences ~ we hope to see you in 2026!
GALAvant 2024 was a smashing success! The Big Easy took over the Appell Center and the good times did indeed roll!
Interested in sponsorship or group tickets for this year’s spectacular gala? Contact Director of Development, Mindi Haines at 717-825-2235 or mhaines@appellcenter.org.
All funds raised from our annual fundraiser benefit Appell Center programs and performances.
