2025 Gala

The Gala brings together business leaders and philanthropists for an evening of celebration and music featuring a cocktail reception, engaging program, an exclusive LIVE auction, an elegant dinner, and LIVE concert.

The ARF Gala supports year-round programming and opportunities for children and families who don’t have access to quality afterschool and summer programs. Our sponsors are helping us eliminate the 6,000 hour learning gap between children who continue learning in afterschool and summer programs versus those who do not attend. Because of our supporters, ARF children are outperforming their peers on statewide tests in Reading and Math by as many as 21% more meeting standards.
