Each year, Wesley Family Services honors an individual who, outside of the success they’ve achieved in their industry, has helped make a difference in the lives of our region’s children and families.
The emcee for the gala is WTAE’s own, Mike Clark, an award-winning journalist and news anchor. The theme for this year’s gala is “Where flowers bloom, so does hope”.
