A Peachtree City nonprofit is converting a night of dancing and dinner into direct support for children living in Christian orphanages abroad — and it wants the community to come along.
Shepherds of the Meek will host its Denim & Diamonds Gala on November 6, 2026, at the CAF Airbase hangar, 1200 Echo Ct, at Peachtree City airport. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event runs until 11 p.m. Tickets are $65 per person, available at ShepherdsoftheMeek.org, and attendees must be 21 or older, according to thecitizen.com.
The evening includes a buffet dinner, open bar, Latino and American dance bands, and a silent auction. Proceeds go toward the organization's projects supporting children's safety, health, education, and opportunity, according to patch.com. Thecitizen.com describes the beneficiaries as children in Christian orphanages in Mexico and South America.
The format is designed to do more than raise money. According to patch.com, the gala gives local supporters and businesses a chance to learn directly about Shepherds of the Meek's projects — making the event as much an introduction to the work as a fundraiser for it.
The venue adds a distinctive backdrop: the CAF Airbase hangar at Falcon Field is a working aviation facility, not a hotel ballroom, which sets the evening apart from a standard charity dinner.
Why it matters — For Peachtree City residents looking to support international child welfare, this is a concrete, ticketed way to do it locally — and the two sources disagree on exactly which countries benefit, so prospective donors may want to confirm before buying.
