Family Builders invites you to celebrate 50 years of creating permanent, loving families for children and youth in foster care at our  Celebration of Family gala event on April 25, 2026, at The Pearl, which is located in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood, at the cross streets of 3rd and 19th.

Join families, community supporters, Bay Area professionals, and advocates for an evening that honors the power of family and the people who make it possible.

The night will also recognize Family Builders CEO Jill Jacobs for her extraordinary 30 years of leadership and her lasting impact on children and youth in foster care across the Bay Area and California. 

Guests will enjoy appetizers and drinks, dinner, and a silent and live auction featuring unique experiences and items—all while helping sustain Family Builders’ work to ensure children and youth in foster care have the opportunity to grow up in permanent, nurturing families.

Dress code is cocktail attire.
