Your Impact. Our Gratitude. One Unforgettable Evening.

Speak With Gratitude is Speak With Purpose’s annual Holiday Soirée—and this year, we’re turning up the joy.

Expect powerful scholar speeches, well-deserved community recognition, delicious food, great music, lots of laughter, and a room filled with wonderful people.

In other words: good food, good music, great people—and all the right vibes.

This celebration is our way of saying thank you to the scholars, families, partners, donors, advocates, and champions who make our work possible. Because of you, young people are raising their voices, sharing their stories, and shining brightly.

Come for the scholars.
Stay for the music and food.
Leave inspired
