Her words will undoubtedly inspire us all to continue making a difference in the lives of children worldwide.Our mission is simple but powerful: to raise money to provide backpacks and essential school supplies to 10,000 children who dream of an education but lack the basic tools to succeed. With your generosity, we can turn those dreams into reality. The night will be filled with laughter, music and moments of deep inspiration. With over 300 attendees, including corporate leaders, foundation representatives, and changemakers from the Charlotte Metro area, this evening will be a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with love and purpose. This is more than a gala—it’s a movement. It’s about giving children the chance to walk into school with confidence, knowing they have the support of a global community that believes in their potential. We need you to help us reach this historic milestone. Join us for a night of impact, celebration, and hope. Together, we can carry the weight of their dreams—one backpack at a time.
