Defiance Area Foundation Gala
"The Defiance Area Foundation has been able to give back a significant amount of money to Defiance County each year. This enables many organizations to help many people and causes. We want to increase the amount we can give back and increase our visibility in the community and this gala will allow us to do both. It will be a great event, that you will not want to miss. I hope to see your there!"
