“IALR is a staple in our community. It has all of the glam and glitz to enhance any event, and it is a place where folks can comfortably gather to socialize and converse. The staff is engaged and cooperative and are there to serve.” - Felecia “Cookie” Edmunds

A few weeks late... but this year's 1 Dream One Team Gala was a smashing success! We love hosting this annual event 🍽️

Featuring the Edmunds brothers (local students turned professional 🏈 players), the 1 Dream One Team Gala event raises funds for high school athletics scholarships and the Danville Church & Community Tutorial Program.
