A Celebration with a Cause

This gala is more than a beautiful night out — it’s a lifeline.

Proceeds from the evening directly support Marie’s Kitchen of Love, a Haiti-focused 501(c)(3) organization providing food, education, and essential support to over 300 students and families facing extreme hardship — from food insecurity to safety and access to basic medical care.

Through Ayiti Nou La, this gala also fuels a larger vision:

• Sustaining vital programs for children and families in Haiti
• Strengthening community-led initiatives on the ground
• Supporting a 2026 mission trip (Q3), where partners, community leaders, and sponsors will travel to Haiti to provide hands-on support.

When you attend, sponsor, or partner with this gala, you’re not just buying a ticket — you’re investing in Haiti’s future.
