What's a Soiree?

A Soiree is a Fancy Evening Party In English, soiree means “a fancy evening affair.” The word comes directly from French and was formed from the word soir, meaning “evening” or “night.” The 2026 soiree is building on the Gala's legacy and refining the event to deliver grandeur, intimacy, and world-class cuisine.

Why are we gathering?

Children who have been adopted or are in foster care often carry the weight of trauma, instability, and deep emotional challenges. They need more than love — they need healing, relationships, trust, and the chance to thrive.

At the same time, the families who step up to care for them need support, guidance, and resources to navigate this journey with strength and compassion.

Your presence at our event helps make that healing possible.
