Grab Your Cowboy Hat for the Great Hearts Gala

The 6^th annual Great Hearts Gala is only weeks away and less than 100 tickets remain. Don’t miss your chance to be one of the 600 attendees at the event and purchase your tickets today. The theme of this year’s Gala is How the West Was One and is presented by Liberty Buick and Liberty GMC with entertainment presented by Casas Bonitas. Join us on Saturday, September 30 from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Earnhardt Lexus Showroom as we raise funds for the 2023 Teacher Excellence Fund. Guests must be 21 or older to attend.

Multi-PLATINUM Country star Riley Green will be the headlining performer. With massive hits like “There Was This Girl” and “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” Green is a chart-topping singer-songwriter lauded for bringing “country back to its roots [with] blue collar sounds for the working man, by the working man” (Whiskey Riff). The American Country Music award-winner, who has remained steadfast to his beliefs, love of family, and (off-the-road) lifestyle has earned a passionate fanbase with his captivating live show. The Alabama native’s latest single “Different ‘Round Here (Ft. Luke Combs),” is currently climbing through the radio charts as he tours North America as part of the Luke Combs World Tour, in addition to his headlining dates.
