Not sure how to help? Start here.

When you attend or sponsor the Hope Gala, you’re doing more than supporting an event—you’re joining a movement that protects children through action.

Here are simple ways you can help right now:

  • Host a table and invite others into the mission

  • Sponsor the event to underwrite costs and maximize program funding

  • Give generously during the program to expand prevention and survivor care

  • Share the gala with your networks and encourage attendance

  • Pray and partner with us as we strengthen safety in our community

Hope grows when people step forward.


Host a Table

Bring the people you love—and create impact together.

Table sponsorship is one of the most meaningful ways to participate. It’s perfect for:

  • businesses

  • churches

  • families

  • friend groups

  • civic teams

You’ll receive recognition, a reserved table experience, and the joy of knowing your table helped protect vulnerable youth.


Sponsor the Hope Gala

Underwrite the night. Multiply the impact.

Sponsorship ensures the event is excellent and that more of the giving goes directly to programs. Gala sponsors are featured through event marketing, printed materials, and on-site recognition.

Sponsorship is a powerful way to:

  • demonstrate community leadership

  • align your brand with protection of children

  • help expand prevention and survivor care in East Texas
