Gala for the Children

The Gala for the Children is the Randolph Partnership for Children’s premier fundraising and benefit auction event. Each year, community members, business owners, civic leaders, and elected officials gather to invest in the youngest children in Randolph County and the families who care for them.

This year’s theme, Once Upon a Time in Randolph County, is inspired by Ciderella and The Glass Sipper—a storybook favorite with an agriculture twist that reflects our commitment to family literacy and the power of early reading. When families read, talk, and sing with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, they build the foundation for lifelong learning.

Funds raised through sponsorships, auctions, and event activities sustain and expand critical programs that prepare children to enter kindergarten healthy, confident, and ready to succeed in school and life. Every dollar raised helps strengthen early learning opportunities across our community.

Through the Partnership, we:

• Promote early literacy and school readiness for children birth to five

• Support parents as their child’s first and most important teacher

• Strengthen early educators through professional development and workforce initiatives

• Encourage healthy development, active lifestyles, and learning through play and exploration

Together, we are helping the next chapter take root for Randolph County’s children.
