Story

This year’s Fits & Kicks Gala is themed Fresh Kicks, Bold Steps. It is a celebration of self-expression, resilience, and the fearless pursuit of purpose. This theme highlights how today’s youth—and the community that supports them—are stepping into bold futures, one decision at a time. Just like a fresh pair of sneakers reflects identity and confidence, this event showcases the transformative power of mentorship and the courageous steps our young people take toward greatness.

The Fits & Kicks Gala becomes more than a night of fashion and fun—it’s a platform to spotlight stories of overcoming, vision, and leadership. Guests are encouraged to come dressed in their best formal attire paired with their freshest sneakers, symbolizing how style and strength go hand-in-hand.
