will you help us light the way?
The Light the Way Gala is our signature fundraising event of the year where we bring together community partners, Guardian’s ad Litem, and supporters from near and far to celebrate the year and look forward to what is next. Even though the over 500 kids in foster care in Wake County have an advocate working on their behalf, there is still a gap - we need you.
Join us for an evening full of impact - where you will hear from the front lines of foster care and have the opportunity to Light the Way and give kids in our community a chance for some normalcy during a trying time of their lives.
