Gala 2026 will be a celebration of beauty, generosity, and the incredible difference we can make when we come together united. Set within a lush, nature-inspired setting, the evening will honor the resilience of children and reflect the belief that beauty paired with purpose can create meaningful, lasting change. The evening will include an elegant three-course dinner, exciting silent and live auctions, the Lexus Vehicle Raffle, and we will honor long-time supporters Alicia & Eric Pointer as our Honorary Chair.
