An Evening of Meaningful Impact
On October 8, 2026, The Helm invites you to an unforgettable evening in support of the older adults in our community. This signature gala will bring us together for a celebration of purpose, connection, and meaningful impact.
Gala guests will enjoy a lively cocktail reception, elegant dining experience, inspiring program moments, and exciting auction opportunities. More than a celebration, the evening is a direct investment in the wellbeing of older adults who built our community and now deserve our continued support.
Your presence helps ensure that no one feels isolated, hungry, or without access to vital resources. Join us for a night of generosity and impact, and be part of strengthening the network of care that allows our older neighbors to thrive.
