Vegas is loaded with fantastic attractions! Grab an old friend, or make a new one, and hit the golf course, take a helicopter ride or catch one of the many shows!

Friday offers a variety of workshops. Whether a beginner or an old pro, have fun laughing and learning alongside fellow attendees!

Each year, Gerry very graciously signs auction items for us. Join the bidding wars as you vie for that one-of-a-kind "Gerry item" for your collection! All proceeds benefit our charity.

We enjoy a tradition of rich decorations to engage the senses!


In addition to our auctions, we raffle gift baskets and bags filled with everything imaginable -- from food to shopping and services to Gerry-related memorabilia!

Attendees enjoy an array of goodie boxes and "swag bags" designed to enhance the experience!

Our Saturday Night Charity Gala entails intricate settings highlighting the chosen theme. Whether it be celebrating a "Gathering of the Fans" in the hall of a Scottish castle or "going glam" for a night of Vintage Hollywood, you'll enjoy the festive spectacle! Grab your masks and join us for this year's "MASQUERADE!"

Friday and Saturday nights offer fully catered, 3-course dinners with the works!

GALS Charitable Foundation presents Marlene Richter, Executive Director of TST, with a check for $32K dollars! Thanks to Mr. Butler for matching funds raised!

Allan Scott-Douglas, Scottish Actor/Singer, was our guest in 2011. Our very own talented songbird, Katie Steuart, joined Allan for a palpable rendition of "Point of No Return."

Attendees of our first convention left with memories of a life time after Mr. Butler made a surprise appearance in 2006!

Each year, attendees travel to The Shade Tree, in North Las Vegas. Some of us get physical and roll up our sleeves to sort through clothing, serve lunch or plant a garden. Others enjoy giving special attention to the children by reading books or playing, providing a much-needed break to weary mothers. Whatever the task, participants leave TST feeling determined to help others break the cycle of domestic abuse!
To provide safe shelter to homeless and abused women and children in crisis and to offer life-changing services promoting stability, dignity, and self-reliance.
The Shade Tree Vision…
Self-reliance for every woman and child.
At The Shade Tree, we believe…
That no one should ever have to endure a state of homelessness, existing in fear for personal safety
and without the means to meet even the most
basic of human needs – food and shelter.
That every human being, regardless of social status, has the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
That all homeless children are victims because they lack choice and mobility.
That homelessness is a community problem that impacts everyone.
That everyone can be a part of the solution.
Please join with GALS Charitable Foundation and Gerard Butler Fans to help provide safe shelter to homeless and abused women and children in crisis.
