Purple Gala,

About the event

The Purple Gala is a formal fundraising and legacy-focused event hosted by Queen of Sheba Court No. 8. The purpose of the event is to honor the life and service of Past Grand Thrice Illustrious Master William D. Wims while raising funds to support the William D. Wims Scholarship Award for graduating high school seniors.

The evening brings together community leaders, fraternal organizations, supporters, and guests for an elegant night of fellowship, recognition, and purpose. Proceeds from the Purple Gala directly support educational advancement and reflect PGTIM Wims’ lifelong commitment to education, mentorship, and mental health advocacy.

Through sponsorship and attendance, partners help preserve a powerful legacy, invest in future leaders, and promote the importance of academic success alongside emotional well-being. The Purple Gala is both a celebration of impact and a call to continue meaningful service within the community.

Why should you sponsor?

Sponsoring the Purple Gala provides a meaningful opportunity to invest in education, community impact, and legacy. Proceeds from the event directly support the William D. Wims Scholarship Award, which assists graduating high school seniors in pursuing higher education while honoring the life and service of Past Grand Thrice Illustrious Master William D. Wims.

Sponsors align their organization with a trusted community institution, gain positive visibility among civic and fraternal leaders, and demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility. Support of this event also advances awareness of mental health and wellness, a cause strongly championed by PGTIM Wims and increasingly vital to student success.

By sponsoring the Purple Gala, partners help remove barriers to education, uplift future leaders, and contribute to a legacy focused on service, balance, and opportunity creating lasting impact beyond a single evening.
