Enjoy an unforgettable evening of dinner, cocktails, inspiring stories, and the premiere of a special anniversary film honoring our past and future.
Together, we’ll celebrate a community that believes no one should face serious illness alone—and ensure the Open Arms table continues to grow for generations to come.
There is always room for one more at our table.
