Heart to Heart Gala

Join us for an unforgettable evening of connection, compassion, and celebration at our Heart to Heart Gala! This special event is dedicated to fostering inclusion and spreading love within our community, while honoring individuals who inspire change and drive social equity for children with disabilities.

The night begins with a glamorous Cocktail Reception featuring a red carpet welcome, a silent auction, a wine and spirits pull, an opportunity drawing, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and a hosted bar—an ideal setting to mingle, network, and kick off the evening.

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

We are proud to honor Chelsie Hill, the visionary Founder/CEO of the Rollettes, whose groundbreaking work is empowering women with disabilities through dance. Her inspiring journey embodies our mission to create a world where everyone can feel included, supported, and empowered to thrive.

This year, we are thrilled to have Laura San Giacomo (actress, Pretty Woman) and Scott Williams (Co-Founder and Executive Producer, NCIS) join us to help recognize these incredible leaders. Special performances throughout the evening will include Paul Barris, renowned choreographer and dancer (Dancing with the Stars), Niv Ashkenazi, virtuoso violinist, and the Rollettes wheelchair dance team—each bringing their unique talent and passion to the stage.

Funds raised during the Gala will support our education and outreach programs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to experience the joy of inclusion.

By joining us, you are helping create a more inclusive future for all. Let’s come together for a night that celebrates love, unity, and the power of community—from family to family, from heart to heart.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
