Gala for the Children
The Gala for the Children is the Partnership’s premiere fundraising and benefit auction event. Each year, community members, business owners and leaders, and elected officials gather to support our programs and initiatives at this gala event.
The theme is a well-known children’s book, series or author, emphasizing our focus on family literacy and the importance of reading to infants, toddlers and preschoolers.
Funds raised through sponsorships, auctions, and related activities are used to sustain and expand critical programs for young children in Randolph County, preparing them to enter kindergarten healthy and ready to succeed in school and life.
Our programs support and enhance early literacy, health, active lifestyles, and early learning through play and exploration for children birth-5; support parents as their child’s first and most important teacher; and support early educators in providing high quality care and attaining educational goals in the profession.

Our Gala for the Children event includes a Fund-A-Need auction that showcases work and successes over the past year.
