Straight from the Heart

A heartfelt thank you to all of our 2026 ticket purchasers! Congratulations, winners!

Straight from the Heart Valentine’s Gala

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Straight from the Heart Gala! Together, we celebrated love and generosity during an unforgettable evening filled with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a gourmet dinner, decadent desserts, music, dancing, raffles, casino games, chocolate treats, and champagne toasts.

One of the most exciting moments of the night was announcing our 40 raffle winners — including the $100,000 grand prize, Olga Telanova!
