One Night to Recognize, Inspire and Support
The Evening of Champions Gala is a celebration honoring the remarkable individuals and organizations making a difference in our community. Launched as a radio initiative in 2023 by Brian and Jill Raleigh, Champions of the Community shines a light on those who make our community a great place to live and work, uniting us all in support of their incredible causes.
This annual gala has raised over $681,000 for local nonprofits over the years. Please join us for an inspiring night filled with delicious food, drinks, entertainment and opportunities to make a lasting impact.
Together, we can celebrate the power of community and create meaningful change.
A Lasting Impact
Every dollar raised during the Evening of Champions Gala goes directly to support the vital work of eight local nonprofits — supporting children, disabled individuals, veterans, animals and more — ensuring they can continue making a lasting difference.
