Dear Friends,
It is hard to believe that it was three years ago when invitations went out for the first Billy C. Walker Gala. It was an incredible evening filled with memories none who attended will soon forget. Plans quickly came together for a second such night with the possibility of making it an annual event. But just after those invitations went out, we were hit with the pandemic which forced us to postpone the occasion these past two years.
We want to invite you to be part of the 2nd “Rev. Billy C. Walker Gala,” which will be happening on Thursday, May 5th at Crystal Gardens Banquet Center – 16703 Fort St. in Southgate, MI. Coming to be with us as our special guest will be Ernie Haase and Signature Sound. This Grammy nominated; Dove award winning group shares an exciting brand of 4-part gospel music harmony that has impacted people around the globe. They were a favorite for Dad, and in fact were in concert at the church the night after his passing. It is fitting that they will be featured for this great Springtime spectacular. There will also be a five-course dinner that includes a hors d’oeuvres reception and dessert bar, a silent auction filled with exclusive memorabilia, some phenomenal photos, tributes, and video presentations that will honor God and the legacy that Billy C. Walker leaves behind. There will also be plenty of time to reminisce, and reacquaint with friends, old and new alike. It’s going to be a great night.
While he invested his life into a wide array of worthy and important causes, The Billy Walker Evangelistic Association, Hiawatha Youth Camp and Calvary Church were lifetime investments and ministries that continue to have an eternal impact. Those ministries benefit from the proceeds of this gala with special projects in his honor.
Tickets for this year’s Gala remain the same at just $100 each, and there are also multiple levels of sponsorship available. CLICK HERE to purchase a ticket. We are praying for and planning on a great group of people coming to celebrate, laugh, remember, and share generously as we carry on the legacy of Rev. Billy C. Walker.
To a few he was family, to many he was a friend. Pastor, Director, Chairman, Chaplain, civic leader, Downriver impact maker, are just a few of the titles that encompass his life. We were beyond fortunate to call him dad. If your life was touched in any way by his ministry, message, encouragement, kindness, listening ear, wisdom, or friendship, we hope you’ll plan on joining with us for a very special evening on behalf of a very special man of God. Thank you.
Most Sincerely,
Billy H Walker & Craig D. Walker
P.S. – If you are unable to be with us in person, would you please consider sharing a financial gift that can still be attributed to the evening. No gift is too small for God not to bless, and no gift is too large for God not to use. All together it will make an eternity of difference!
