Join us for an unforgettable evening of elegance and impact at HCAR Cares’ Annual Spring Gala. This year’s theme, Run for the Roses, Raise for the Community, brings the timeless charm of the Kentucky Derby to Howard County as we come together to give back.
This signature fundraiser proudly supports Grassroots Crisis Intervention and HCAR Cares. Fifty percent of event proceeds will be donated to Grassroots Crisis Intervention to support their critical work with individuals and families in crisis. The remaining proceeds will support HCAR Cares’ ongoing efforts to help those in need throughout Howard County and beyond.
Guests are encouraged to embrace Derby-inspired attire. Ladies, think fabulous fascinators, florals, and bold spring colors. Gentlemen, elevate the evening with sharp suits, bowties, fedoras, and classic Derby style.
