ROOM TO GROW ANNUAL GALA
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2026 | ZIEGFELD BALLROOM, NEW YORK CITY | BLACK TIE OPTIONAL
In a world where too many families face rising costs and uncertainty, Room to Grow is choosing action. We are Meeting Today, Making Tomorrow — responding to real-time challenges with practical support, trusted relationships, and a long-term vision for what’s possible when families have what they need to thrive.
Our 2026 Annual Gala brings together more than 400 community leaders, families, and changemakers to raise $1 million in support of our programs in New York and Boston. Together, we are investing in stability today and opportunity for the years ahead — proving that when we show up for families now, we can build a stronger future.
Together, we respond. Together, we rise. And together, we are making tomorrow possible.
