The Hope Gala

What is the Hope Gala?

It is a fundraiser event which includes heavy hors d’oeuvres and a buffet dinner, an unforgettable silent auction and raffle, an amazing DJ, and the delightful selfie/photo booth. The Hope Gala is a celebration of hope, resilience, and the collective effort to uplift and transform the lives of women facing economic challenges.

Why Do We Do It?

With our purpose being to empower women through technical training scholarships, grants for materials support, and strategic partnerships, this evening of elegance and compassion brings together individuals committed to making a positive impact.
