Children’s Champions Gala

41st Annual Gala: Peace by Piece

Saturday, May 2, 2026
The US Grant Hotel

Each year, the Children’s Champions Gala offers a meaningful opportunity to come together and make an impact—whether through your presence at the event or by taking part in the silent auction. By joining us or supporting in this way, you contribute an essential piece of the solution—helping create peace through safety, stability, and hope.

Get your bids in now! The silent auction closes on Saturday, May 2nd at 7:30pm.

Your gift helps young children learn and grow, supports youth in succeeding at school, and ensures teens find belonging and guidance. Together, each piece helps families move from crisis toward self-sufficiency, bringing children closer to lasting peace and a true sense of belonging. Thank you for being a champion for children in need.
