I AM Gala presented by Dollar Bank
2026-06-13 17:30 - 22:00
Homeless Children’s Education Fund’s I AM Gala presented by Dollar Bank is more than a night out. It is a declaration that circumstance will never define destiny.
Join us for an immersive evening where student voices take center stage through love storytelling and performances, the launch of Echoes of Brilliance – a collection of student essays, and the presentation of the Lagana Champions for Children Awards and the President’s Award for Transformational Impact. The night continues with exclusive auction experiences and an after-gala Power Party that keeps the energy high and purpose clear.
Together, we are celebrating perseverance, honoring possibility, and fueling the futures of students who refuse to be counted out.
