Thank you so much for purchasing your ticket to our 2025 Annual Gala and Live Auction and/or for making a generous donation in support of Families Moving Forward. We’re thrilled you’ll be part of this unforgettable evening—and even more grateful that you’re part of our community of supporters making real, lasting change.

On November 6th, we’ll come together to enjoy a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience created by five of the Triangle’s top chefs—each of whom is donating their time and talent to support families experiencing homelessness in Durham. But the real magic of the night goes far beyond the table.

Because of your support, children will receive life-changing developmental screenings and early intervention services. Parents will gain workforce tools, life skills training, and housing support. Families will find not only shelter—but stability, dignity, and hope.

100% of the proceeds from this event go directly to these services—and your generosity is already making a difference.

We can’t wait to see you there and celebrate the impact we’re creating together. Get ready for an evening of joy, community, and purpose.

With gratitude,
Joe Daly
Director of Development
Families Moving Forward
