This year marked a milestone for our organization: the 20th Annual Heroes Gala, and what a celebration it was. Held on a sparkling evening filled with laughter, music, and generosity, the Gala brought together friends, supporters, and longtime volunteers for a night that truly captured the spirit of community. From the very start, the energy in the room was electric. Glasses clinked, conversations flowed, and joyful reunions unfolded across the ballroom. A standout moment came courtesy of our dear friend Eric, whose piano solo left the audience breathless. His performance added a moving, unforgettable touch to an already magical evening. Of course, no Gala would be complete without a bit of fun— and this year’s prize giveaways were next level. Guests walked away with incredible items, from luxury getaways to once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
But the biggest win of the night? Together, we raised an astonishing $490,207 in support of our programs. Every dollar represents hope, growth, and the ongoing impact of our mission. Behind the scenes, this event wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and especially Spenser, who took the lead in organizing this year’s event. Their vision and tireless effort brought everything together seamlessly—and beautifully. Twenty years in, the Heroes Gala remains more than just a fundraiser. It’s a celebration of the people who make our work possible: the helpers, the dreamers, the quiet champions behind the scenes. This night was for them—for you. Here’s to 20 incredible years—and to the next chapter of building something even greater, together.
