Kicking off Gala festivities, our D.C. Gala brings together families formed by our programs. Hear how your support is changing the lives of kids and families across the country and around the world.

We will be honoring Judy Woodruff, adoptive parent and PBS News Senior Correspondent, with Kidsave’s Inspirational Voices Award for her commitment to elevating voices from all walks of life.

Join us for a night of fun, dining, exclusive live and silent auctions, with an inspiring program to raise funds and celebrate the joy of finding forever families for kids growing up alone.

We will be honoring Louisette Geiss with the Inspirational Voices Award for her leadership, courage, and compassion for those who need it most and making a lasting impact in her community.

We will also honor Laura and John White with the Champions for Change Award for their longtime dedication and opening their home and hearts to nine children through our Summer Miracles program, offering connection, support, and inspiration to others committed to changing kids’ lives.

We are delighted to announce that for the first time, we will host a gala celebration in Houston! Please join us for an evening on the bayou featuring dinner, an auction, and inspiring speakers from the Kidsave community.

Dr. Mary Ann Wilkins will receive the Inspirational Voices Award for her career-long dedication to children’s well-being. We will also present Larry Finley with the Champions for Change Award for his dedication and adoption of his three teenage sons through the Weekend Miracles program.
