The community is invited to join the “All Things New” Fundraising Gala on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 6:15 p.m., at the Bismarck Event Center (315 S. 5th Street, Bismarck). Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The event supports the Adult & Teen Challenge – North Dakota (NDATC) programs for men, women, and women with children—and invites local residents to be a part of a fresh start.

The gala’s theme, “All Things New,” underscores the mission of NDATC to offer renewal and hope for people battling addiction or life-challenges.

Attendees will enjoy a catered meal by Hometown Elegance, hear from a keynote speaker—former NFL player and pastor Rickey Bolden—and listen to testimonies from program students and graduates.

A highlight: a silent auction featuring up-cycled “old made new” items crafted by NDATC students and Bismarck community friends, echoing the gala’s theme of transformation.

By hosting the gala in Bismarck, the region becomes a direct stakeholder in recovery support—giving local businesses, donors and families a chance to engage.

Local business owner Sarah (name changed for privacy) shared:

“I’m proud to invest in our community’s recovery infrastructure. Supporting programs for women with children means families stay together in the healing process.”

Program graduate Katie added:

“I walked into this organization scared but they offered a new chance—this gala allows me to give back and help others find that new beginning.”
