From Conexiones to Shining Night of Dreams:

We’re thrilled to announce a new(ish) name for our annual gala: Shining Night of Dreams.

This year, we’re returning to our roots while also looking to the future. Our new name honors the dreams of the families we serve and pays homage to the previous name of our fundraising event (Night of Dreams) that was led by a dedicated and caring group of volunteers. This name change allows us to celebrate our shared history while emphasizing the core purpose of our work: to support and nurture the dreams of every family we serve.

The Peninsula Family Connections Board of Directors underwrites the entire cost of Shining Night of Dreams which means all sponsorships are 100% tax deductible donation.

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
