SAVE's 2026 Gala

A Night of Light marks SAVE Family Foundation’s inaugural gala, launching an annual tradition that will spotlight a different one of our core pillars each year. This year we are focusing on mental health awareness and access, an area where our work over the past year revealed just how deep the need for support runs within our community. We are also continuing to advance our mission in education, food security, and housing stability. 

Through our signature Donate-a-Therapy program, your generosity directly funds professional mental health sessions for people who could never otherwise afford them: the underserved, the overlooked, the families quietly carrying more than anyone should carry alone.

It’s a simple idea with a profound reach: when a therapy session is funded, a life begins to change. And on the night of the gala, that act becomes something you can see. A room full of lanterns rises, each one standing for real support given to a real person.
