Blithewold’s largest fundraiser, the gala, takes place every other summer usually the 2nd Saturday in August.
The semi-formal dinner dance attracts more than 400 East Bay residents and Rhode Island business leaders for an evening of celebration. Funds raised through ticket sales and auctions go towards the preservation of Blithewold’s historic structures and landscape features.
