Join us for an unforgettable evening of compassion, hope, and transformation at the 2026 Step into the Light Gala.

On Saturday, April 18, celebrate new beginnings at Rivers Casino with live music, cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and a curated silent auction. This inspiring evening honors survivors as they heal, grow, and bloom into brighter futures.

Attire: Black tie optional. Guests are encouraged to embrace the beauty of spring—flowing gowns, fresh florals, and graceful elegance.

For over 40 years, Samaritan House has provided critical resources to individuals experiencing domestic and sexual violence, empowering them to break free and move toward safer, more hopeful futures. As our largest fundraising event of the year, the Step into the Light Gala celebrates the strength, resilience, and perseverance of those we serve.
