WHAT
Father Joe's Villages is
set to host its signature black-tie event,
the
Children’s Charity Gala, May 7 in the U.S. Grant Hotel.
This year, the
37th Annual Children’s Charity Gala
returns
to an in-person format to support life-changing services
for more than 450 families and more than 900 children
served by
Father Joe’s Villages annually.
At the 2022 Children’s
Charity Gala: Hope Blooms,
more than 350 people will
gather for an evening of cocktails, dinner and dancing
to music entertainment by Republic of Music.
At the
event, local leaders,
Ed and Ann Witt and Mike and Celia Schleyhahn,
will accept awards for their commitment to
helping San Diegans experiencing and overcoming
homelessness reach new heights.
WHY
This year’s theme,
Hope Blooms, reflects how Father Joe’s Villages helps
the children it serves grow into their full potential.
According to research,
children who are homeless are four times as likely to
have delayed development and twice as likely to repeat a
grade in school.
To break the cycle of homelessness, the
nonprofit puts an emphasis on providing critical care to
children – just as it did for more than 900 children in
2021.
