irondale's 41st anniversary gala
june 17, 2024



Every year we celebrate people whose work and values reflect our own as a company and inspire us to do better.
The presentation of the M. Edgar Rosenblum Award is our way of acknowledging these individuals who make our world a little more beautiful.

We are Inspired. And because of that, we hope to Inspire others.

We are thrilled to announce that the silent auction for the 2024 Inspire Gala is officially LIVE!
This year’s auction features an incredible array of items, including luxurious vacations, weekend getaways, autographed music and movie memorabilia, gift certificates from top-notch restaurants, and so much more.
