New Hope for Kids is honored and deeply grateful to be named the official recipient of the 2026 Goodness Gala. This unique philanthropic initiative celebrates and supports impactful Central Florida-based nonprofits. Being chosen brings renewed visibility to our mission of providing essential grief support and wish-granting during life’s most difficult moments.

A Community Coming Together

The Goodness Gala is an annual event led by a collective of local event industry leaders. These generous professionals donate all services—from the venue and catering to décor, entertainment, and coordination. Because of their dedication, 100% of the proceeds will directly support the children and families relying on New Hope for Kids.

Join Us for an Unforgettable Evening

The 2026 Goodness Gala is scheduled for September 19, 2026, promising an elegant evening dedicated to community spirit. We invite supporters and partners to join us in raising critical funds to further our grief support and wish-granting efforts. Together, we can ensure that every child facing loss or a life-threatening illness knows they are never alone.
