Southwest Youth And Family Services Night of Giving Gala will be Sat., Oct. 16

Southwest Youth And Family Services 2021 Night of Giving Gala will be Saturday, October 16, 2021:

Celebrate Community Resilience!

Please join us in celebrating our Night of Giving Gala on October 16 at 7 p.m. We will be celebrating community resilience and coming together to transform the future of our community! Join us in raising over $180,000 so we can support and empower youth and their families for many years to come.

We have made the decision to transition this years gala to a fully virtual event. Although we would have loved to have an in-person gala, we want to ensure the safety of our guests, volunteers, and staff in light of the new COVID regulations and increasing infections. All guests will be able to experience the gala from the comfort of their home, and participate in the online auction and the Fund A Dream from a phone, tablet or computer.

Don’t miss a special keynote by Sili Savusa, Executive Director of the White Center Community Development Association. As well as videos from program participants, staff, and community partners!
