Heart to Heart Gala

Join us for an unforgettable night dedicated to fostering inclusion and spreading love within our community! Our Heart to Heart Gala will honor remarkable individuals while highlighting the importance of dignity and social equity for children with disabilities.

Our Cocktail Reception will feature a glamorous red carpet welcome, a silent auction, a wine and spirits pull, an opportunity drawing, hors d’oeuvres, and a hosted bar, providing a wonderful opportunity to connect and celebrate.

The evening continues with our Awards Program, a three-course dinner, entertainment, live auction, and dancing.

We are proud to honor Chelsie Hill, the visionary Founder/CEO of the Rollettes, whose groundbreaking work empowers women with disabilities and inspires countless others through her passion for dance. Chelsie’s journey resonates deeply with our mission to create environments where everyone can feel included, supported, and able to thrive.

Funds from the Gala will support our education and outreach programs, ensuring that every child can experience the joy of inclusion.

By participating in this event, you are helping to create a more inclusive future for all. Let’s open our hearts and come together for an evening of connection, compassion, and love—from family to family, from heart to heart.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
