GALVESTON BECOMES MORE VIBRANT THROUGH EVERY RELATIONSHIP, ACT OF SERVICE, AND STORY OF TRANSFORMATION.
Life in Color” is a celebration of what it means to truly thrive as individuals, as neighbors, and as a community. Just as a painting comes alive through every brushstroke, Galveston becomes more vibrant through every relationship, act of service, and story of transformation. This celebration invites guests to experience the full spectrum of what happens when hope meets action, and faith meets community.
Join us for an evening of inspiration, connection, and impact at the Life in Color Celebration, supporting the mission of Galveston Urban Ministry (GUM) to provide tangible hope and restoration to those facing poverty in our community. Guests will enjoy a cocktail hour with interactive experiences, a beautifully plated dinner, a silent auction, and opportunities to celebrate the stories and programs that bring lasting change.
From engaging activations like the Wine Pull and Bloom Bar to meaningful conversation and fellowship, every moment of the evening highlights how generosity and faith can transform lives. Your participation through tickets or sponsorship directly fuels programs that empower individuals, strengthen families, and build a thriving Galveston community.
Dress is colorful island chic. We encourage guests to wear bright, vibrant colors to celebrate the evening and the impact being made.
Step out and be part of a night where generosity, joy, and community come together in full color.
