The 2022 Illuminations Gala will provide guests with an exciting evening of dining, dinner and dancing celebrating our donors and volunteers who illuminate the lives of those experiencing homelessness. Organized by Gala Chairs Heide and Jose Dans, the Illuminations Gala Illuminate & Blossom captures the essence of resiliency through challenging times.

Illuminations Gala celebrates the legacy of empathy, humanity, and achievements demonstrated by our inspiring founder Alvah H. Chapman, Jr. and carried on through the innovation of President & CEO, Symeria T. Hudson. This year, Laurie Jennings will serve as the mistress of ceremonies, while Peter T. Pruitt, Jr. will receive the Alvah H. and Betty Chapman, Jr. Humanitarian Award.
