New in 2025, the Guild of Family Service of Greensboro hosted the first annual BON TEMPS BALL at Starmount Forest Country Club.
Presenting Sponsor was Woodruff Family Law Group/Woodruff Ensley Foundation, PNC Financial Services sponsored the Pre-Party Top Sponsors Reception, “The Big Easy Bash”, and Honorary Chair was Carolyn Woodruff.
This Mardi Gras-inspired ball featured live music by Sleeping Booty, heavy hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine, and a myriad of engagement opportunities for guests such as: a Bourbon Tasting, a Cigar Bar (sponsored by Havana Phil’s Cigar Company), a Wine Toss/Wall, a Parade of Top Sponsors, a Silent Auction, and a Raffle of Fine Jewelry (sponsored by Fink’s Jewelers).
Thank you to our 2025 Sponsors.
