About the Fundraising Event
More than just an evening of elegance and enchantment, the 2026 Unmasking Hope Gala is a powerful
celebration of purpose, perseverance, and community. As we mark five years of restoring hope and uplifting
underserved families, we invite you to join us for a night where every mask removed reveals a story of
strength, transformation, and unity. This exclusive fundraising event blends timeless glamour with heartfelt
impact, raising critical funds to support the life-changing programs of Howards 4 Hope. Come dressed in your
most elaborate mask and prepare to witness how your presence helps unmask hope for those who need it
most.
Our Initiatives:
Unmasking Hope for a Better Tomorrow
The Unmasking Hope Gala isn’t just a celebration; it’s a call to action. Behind elegance and glamour lies a
deeper purpose: to raise vital funds for programs that restore hope, dignity, and direction to those who need it
most. Every ticket purchased, every donation given, helps us break cycles of struggle and build bridges to
stability, healing, and opportunity. Our impact is made real through these cornerstone initiatives:
Me, Myself & Why
More than a mentorship program, this initiative is a lifeline for youth in Grades 4–7, guiding them through
one of the most pivotal transitions in their lives. By nurturing self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and
critical thinking, we help young minds build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of identity, tools they’ll
carry for a lifetime.
Links of Hope
Caregiving for a loved one with a disability can be overwhelming and isolating. Links of Hope creates a
community of connections and compassion for parents and caregivers. Through support groups, resources,
education, and wellness-focused care, we strengthen caregivers because when they are supported, their loved
ones thrive.
H.O.P.E. Program
Single parents often carry the weight of the world alone. The H.O.P.E. Program steps in to lighten that load.
By offering access to essential resources, skills training, and emotional support, we help low-income working
parents find stability, build brighter futures, and give their children the secure foundation every child deserves.
A Night of Community and Unveiling
Enchanting Entertainment
Enjoy an inspiring lineup of live performances, from soul-stirring music and spoken word to cultural artistry
that honors our collective resilience. Each act celebrates hope, strength, and the beauty of our community.
The Unmasking Moment
Join us in a powerful shared experience where guests symbolically remove their masks together, unveiling their faces and their stories, struggles, and strength. This is a defining moment of connection, vulnerability,
and transformation.
Elegant Atmosphere & Celebration
Immerse yourself in an evening of timeless glamour, exquisite ambiance, and joyful celebration. Whether
you're networking, dancing, or reflecting, this night is made to be remembered.
