Project Avary’s Annual Gala
A Night of Fun, Community, and Purpose
Each year, our community comes together for an unforgettable evening to celebrate, uplift, and support Project Avary’s work with children of incarcerated parents. It’s a night filled with joy, connection, and collective action, and it plays a vital role in raising the funds that make our year-round programs possible.
