Father Joe's signature black-tie event of the year, the Father Joe’s Villages 35th Annual Children’s Charity Gala, Reach for the Stars, was a night to remember. Held at the historic U.S. Grant Hotel, the evening featured an elegant cocktail reception, one-of-a-kind silent and live auction, exquisite gourmet meal, award ceremony, live entertainment and dancing.

The Funds raised from the Children’s Charity Gala directly support programs and services for children experiencing homelessness including our fully licensed and accredited preschool and after-school programs, our Therapeutic Childcare Center as well as emergency and life-sustaining services like food, shelter and healthcare.
