50th Anniversary Gala
Join us March 9th from 8-11pm in the Lumina Ballroom at the Holiday Inn Resort Lumina (same location as the symposium) to celebrate 50 amazing years of the NCATA! This will be a formal (black tie optional) event and will include dinner and drinks, as well as a live band, dancing and a look back on our past 50 years of athletic training in North Carolina.
This event is free for registered NCATA symposium attendees, and your guests and/or spouses are also welcome to attend this event. To ensure we have adequate food and beverages for all, we are charging a $25 fee for all guests who are not registered for the symposium.
If you plan to attend the Gala, please indicate so on your symposium registration form. There is an option to add a guest on the form and to pay the $25 fee when you submit your registration payment.
We are also collecting photos of the past 50 years in athletic training! We would love to share any memories you have in the profession at this event. Please email photos to ncatapr@ncata.net.
We can't wait to celebrate with you!
