On Tuesday, June 17th, 2025, the Endowment Fund Committee hosted a lovely summer evening reception to celebrate the installation of Gamble’s newest Endowment Fund Bench and Bricks. The Summer Garden Party was blessed with a perfect evening and an abundance of Gamble’s most generous donors.
Guests were welcomed into the Carriage House Courtyard with wine and refreshments. The event kicked off with welcome remarks from Board President Donna Bohling, and a recognition of major donors from Executive Director Mica Pirie. Next, a recognition of endowed benches and bricks was led by Susann Mirabella, Vice President of Fund Development. To cap off the evening, Garden Director Corey Andrikopoulos gave a tribute to beloved volunteer Gwen Whittier, then led guests out to the gazebo for a champagne toast and viewing of the newly installed bricks.
