About the Opening Doors Gala

Please join us as a sponsor at our annual Opening Doors Gala for an evening of fun, philanthropy, and community! The event typically brings together 250+ of our partners and supporters from across Minnesota to celebrate the work of Emma Norton. The gala and silent auction raises critical funding for the 300+ formerly homeless women and families we serve. This year’s event is at the Intercontinental Riverfront St. Paul—offering a beautiful venue for our guests and sponsors!
