50th Anniversary Gala
The 50th Anniversary Gala was an incredible celebration of 50 years of empowering lives. Our hearts are full of gratitude to our community who made the event an incredible success.This evening would not have been possible without the vision and amazing execution of our Event Committees. A heartfelt thank you to them, our Event Sponsors, auction donors, event contributors, volunteer groups, and to our guests who purchased tickets, got in on the auction fun and contributed to the fundraising drive.
You believe in the High Hopes mission and we thank you!
