About the Evening
Join us for an unforgettable evening at The Founder's Gala, a premier gathering of leaders, philanthropists, business owners, and advocates who care deeply about faith, freedom, and the future of our nation.
This year's Gala will be our most spectacular yet. We have completely reimagined the experience, from a beautifully revamped ball room to an elevated dining menu, live in-show entertainment, a handcrafted cannoli station, and a curated mocktail bar so every guest can raise a glass. Every detail has been designed to make the evening extraordinary.
Guests will enjoy an elegant atmosphere, exceptional hospitality, inspiring speakers, and a shared commitment to strengthening the moral and civic foundation of our nation. From powerful conversations to lasting partnerships, the Gala brings together people who are not content to watch culture drift. They are ready to lead, build, and invest in what is good, true, and enduring.
