INAUGURAL DOING GOOD GALA

Thank You to our GALA Sponsors & Friends!



Doing Good GALA was an inaugural event to support Ottawa County Community Foundation's ongoing charitable efforts. Attendees enjoyed a strolling supper, live music by Blues Deville, a Live Auction and sunset views from the beautiful Lake Erie shoreline.


We couldn't have crafted such a successful event without the help of our awesome Sponsors & Friends!

What an Amazing Auction!


  More than 200 Ottawa County Community Foundation (OCCF) friends and supporters attended or donated to OCCF’s first Doing Good Gala, held at Catawba Island Club on July 25. More than $48,000 was raised during the sold out “battle of the paddles.” Proceeds will help continue OCCF’s countywide efforts to aid nonprofit organizations address pressing needs of our area and assist local students with scholarships.


Auctioneer Len Partin took generous bids for a dozen top-tier auction items which generated more than half of the event proceeds. Thank you to our attendees and the local businesses and individuals who sponsored the event and donated auction items. Your generosity made the Gala such a success and we are incredibly grateful!  .

It is anticipated that more than 125 scholarships will be awarded in 2023.
