Moravian Historical Society
18th Annual Share the Heritage Gala
Join us on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at the Northampton Country Club for the 18th Annual Share the Heritage Gala.
This year, the Moravian Historical Society is pleased to honor Charlene Donchez Mowers with the annual Heritage Award. Charlene Donchez Mowers dedicated more than two decades of work that culminated in July 2024 when Bethlehem became one of four Moravian church settlements inscribed together as a UNESCO transnational World Heritage Site. The World Heritage Site list identifies cultural and natural places that deserve to be protected, preserved, and made available for future generations to enjoy. Charlene Donchez Mowers led Bethlehem’s long effort to make this dream a reality.
​
The Gala is the Museum’s primary fundraiser, raising vital funds for all operations, including exhibitions, programs for children and adults, and the preservation of the historic site. The event will feature cocktails, dinner, live music, and both a silent and live auction.
