SUMMARY:See Their Faces Gala\, presented by Park West Foundation
DESCRIPTION:4KIDS to Host “See Their Faces” Gala Highlighting the Sacred Responsibility of Caring for Children and Families in Crisis. 4KIDS\, a faith-based nonprofit serving children and families in crisis\, will host its See Their Faces Gala on Saturday\, May 2\, 2026\, at Boca West Country Club. The evening will bring together community leaders\, advocates\, and philanthropists for a black-tie optional event centered on awareness\, impact\, and collective responsibility.\nThe See Their Faces Gala\, presented by Park West Foundation\, is 4KIDS’ premier fundraising event\, designed to move beyond statistics and invite guests to truly see the lives behind the need—children and families navigating foster care\, prevention services\, and pathways toward stability and healing. Through thoughtfully curated storytelling\, the evening will spotlight how consistent care\, faith-centered support\, and community partnership can change the trajectory of a child’s life.\n“This evening is about more than gathering support\, it’s about recognition\,” said Andrew Holmes\, 4KIDS President. “When we see a child clearly\, when we acknowledge their story\, their dignity\, and their potential\, we accept a responsibility that follows. The See Their Faces Gala is an invitation to step into that responsibility together\, with compassion and purpose.”\nFunds raised during the gala will support 4KIDS’ comprehensive community care\, including prevention services that stabilize families before crisis\, foster homes for children in need\, trauma-informed therapy\, and innovative support for parents and caregivers. These programs collectively serve thousands of children and families each year throughout South Florida\, the Treasure Coast\, and Southwest Florida communities.\nThe 2026 gala will feature a formal dinner\, program presentation\, and opportunities for guests to engage meaningfully with the mission of 4KIDS. The evening will include a live and silent auction\, visual storytelling\, and a moving message from 4KIDS President Andrew Holmes\, culminating in a send-off social hour with live music and dancing. Corporate sponsorships\, table opportunities\, and individual tickets are available.
