Yes, our Gala is free to attend. Instead of charging a ticket price, we hope each guest feels compelled to be part of our movement by financially supporting our growth. This year, we are challenging each guest to give $400 or start a monthly donation of $35. Donations will be matched be our generous Sponsors, doubling the impact of your gift!

Steps to register:

• Click here and select “Register”.
• If you are sitting with a Gala Chair/Table Host, choose “Gala Ticket with Hosted Table”.
• If you are not sitting at a reserved table, choose “Gala Ticket for General Registration”.
• Select your ticket quantity: one ticket per person, so if you are registering as a couple or group then select the correct ticket quantity. Please note that due to the nature of this event and limited space, we are asking that all guests be 18 years of age or older.
• Click “Checkout” and fill out your information. Please include your phone number so you can participate in mobile bidding & giving during the event.
• Click “Complete Registration” to secure your ticket(s). 

Registration closes Sunday, September 8th. If you would like to attend the Gala, you must register by 11:00pm PST that night.

Doors open at 5:30 pm. You will have time to check in at our registration table to receive your bid number, enjoy cocktail hour, and participate in the Silent Auction before dinner begins at 7:00 pm.

The dress code for this event is cocktail attire.

We’re so glad you’re interested in Sponsoring our Gala or hosting a table this year! We would love to partner with you through a Sponsorship, which is a donation used to match giving during the event. If you, your business, faith group, or other connection are interested in being a Gala Sponsor, please contact our Development Director, Kenzie. Sponsorships are recognized in our Gala Program and event materials. 

If you are interested in hosting a table of 10 guests (including yourself), we do have a couple tables available. We are anticipating a full event, so please contact us as soon as possible if you’d like to learn more about hosting a table.

We will have a Silent Auction, Live Auction, and Dessert Dash. Guests will bid on items in the Silent Auction using their phones, so please include your phone number when you register. This mobile bidding and giving platform will also be used for Live Auction, Dessert Dash, and general donations throughout the evening. If you want to bid on an item, but are not able to attend the Gala, stay tuned because we might be able to have a few select items open to those outside of the event. 

100% of money raised goes to supporting our operations, and the amount of your donation that exceeds the fair market value of any item(s) won will be tax-deductible. 

We are looking for people who are able to donate in-kind gifts for us to include in our Auction. If you are interested in donating airline miles, sports or theater tickets, gift cards, or have other ideas, please contact us by August 1st. 

Yes! There will be a seated dinner and dessert dash. We will have gluten-free food options. If you would like a vegetarian meal, you will need to include that when you register. We will have wine generously donated by Helix Wines, local beer, and hard cider. There will also be non-alcoholic beverages available.
