10th Annual Heart of the Matter Gala Recap
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made our 10th Annual Heart of the Matter Fundraising Gala a success! Held on the stunning rooftop terrace of the Martin Luther King Jr. Library, nearly 90 guests joined us for an evening filled with inspiration. The night featured moving testimonials, artistic and musical performances by our youth, highlights of our programs, and a silent auction showcasing original artwork from our talented mentees.
Thanks to your generous support, we raised over $45,000 to continue our mission of empowering youth. Whether you attended in person, bid on artwork, made a donation, or supported us from afar, your contribution made a lasting impact.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our key sponsors—Jennifer & Neal Simon, the Cliff & Deborah White Family Foundation, ALKU, MGM Resorts Foundation, Events DC, FTI Consulting, and our in-kind supporters for making this event possible.
One of the most memorable moments was when our Program Director, Carl Scott, invited all guests to stand and say to the youth in attendance, “I believe in you.” It was a powerful reminder of the difference we can make when we come together for our young people.
Your support enables us to continue providing the stability, tools, and resources our youth need to thrive. Thank you for standing with us, and we look forward to seeing you at next year's unforgettable Heart of the Matter Gala! Stay tuned for details.
With gratitude,
Mr. Warren Anderson, Board Chair Dr. Stephania A. Herrera, Executive Director
