One night. One stage. Unlimited impact.
This unprecedented level of community support for the arts and educational programming provided at Allied Solutions Center speaks volumes. The Center Celebration 2025 isn't just a gala – it's a night to ignite creativity, open doors for students, and ensure the arts are accessible to all. Every ticket, every bid, and every moment of celebration results in free school matinees, arts education programs, and outreach initiatives that bring the magic of the performing arts to thousands.
Our gala Steering Committee is busy with plans for this year's event. Leading these community volunteers this year are Committee Co-Chairs Caroline and Michael Garvey and Annette and David Greene, all Carmel residents and generous supporters of the organization. Learn more about the co-chairs and their work in this feature from Current in Carmel.
