Event Experience
An Evening That Changes Lives

This curated experience blends elevated cocktails, powerful youth storytelling, and a high‑energy “Fill a Cabin” giving moment that directly fuels life‑changing opportunities for young people.
And the excitement doesn’t stop there.
One lucky guest will walk away with a luxury one‑week stay in a 3‑bedroom oceanfront home on Puako Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii — complete with up to $2,500 in airfare assistance. With only 150 tickets available, every attendee holds a genuine chance to win paradise.
Each ticket purchased represents a single admission and entry into drawing. You must be present to win.
Every dollar raised provides camp experiences and year‑round leadership development for youth who would not otherwise have access to them. Your participation doesn’t just support a fundraiser — it opens doors, builds confidence, and transforms futures.
