Please join us for the First Annual "Going Against the Grain" Gala, on May 20th 2018 at Lake Presidential Golf Club in Upper Marlboro from 7:00pm - 11:00pm. The theme for the event is "50 Shades of Green", as light green is the ribbon color for Celiac Disease. Guests are asked to come clad in their best, and in the shade of green of their choice. Light Gluten Free Fare will be served for the first hour, and their will be a cash bar for all to enoy.

For those unfamiliar with Celiac Disease, it is a serious autoimmune disorder that can occur in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide. Two and one-half million Americans are undiagnosed and are at risk for long-term health complications.

Celiacs Going Against the Grain Going Against the Grain is a grassroots organization that seeks to bring Celiac Disease awareness to the DC metropolitan area and the online community. We hope that through awareness, we are able to raise money to assist Celiac Sufferers with limited financial means. Celiac's require very strict dietary regimen. These requirements can prove to be exceedingly costly. It is our belief that everyone should have access to a healthy diet despite their income.

The funds earned from the First Annual "Going Against the Grain" Gala will be used to invest back in the organization so that we are able to support Celiacs warriors in need.

For more information about the organization, or to provide a private donation please visit us at our website: www.celiacsgoingagainstthegrain.com.

We hope to celebrate with you!

Best Regards,

Eva, Dee, and DMan
