Description
The state of Delaware’s favorite Fundraising Gala is back with a bang! Returning for the third year, the Wilmington Public Library is bringing you an all new and improved experience!
This year there are 11 couples, all local community trailblazers, who will compete for a chance at winning the coveted “Dancing with the Delaware Stars Disco Ball Trophy.” Dancers will perform an unforgettable routine who have been trained by professional choreographers from the Christina Cultural Arts Center. There will be non-stop entertainment and it’s sure to be an unforgettable night.
Why should you attend, sponsor or donate to the Wilmington Public Library?
The list of luminaries who have made in-person appearances at the Wilmington Public Library (WPL) since Jamar Rahming became executive director in 2018 is a long one. Angela Davis, LeVar Burton, Dolly Parton (who selected WPL for her early childhood reading initiative), Dennis Rodman, Pam Grier, Jennifer Lewis, Malcolm Jamal Warner, the cast reunion of A Different World and the Kims of Comedy are just a few. Pop culture and the arts and humanities create social cohesion. It builds bridges and brings people together because it’s something that we all agree on. WPL’s capacity-crowd events have drawn residents from every zip code, socioeconomic class, race, and demographic that the library serves. The Wilmington Library has become the premier intellectual, social, and recreational hub of the city and is a citadel of democracy and intellectual freedom. We’re a space that welcomes all ideas and all people.
But without you, none of this is possible. With your generous donations, sponsorships, ticket purchases to DWTDS Fundraising Gala and the support of the library, it can continue to bring big names, fun events, free books, free necessities and more to the community.
