The spring event to attend in Columbus. The fundraiser and party with a purpose to support youth programs and performances. All proceeds from the evening will support The King Arts Complex in its mission to provide our community with artistic programming that challenges and inspires. We honor select community figures and provide guests with an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
Our Virtual Gala Celebration is scheduled for May 15, 2021.
The King Arts Complex is delighted to celebrate four remarkable women: Yvette McGee Brown (partner, Jones Day), Gale V. King (Executive Vice-President and Chief Administrative Officer, Nationwide), Cheryl Lee, M.D. (Chair of the Department of Urology, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center), and Teresa L. McWain-Scott (Director of Corporate Communications, AEP Foundation, retiree).
Each one is a leader in her profession, as well as a powerful role model whose success has uplifted others!
