✨ Our Illuminate Gala was nothing short of MAGICAL! ✨
A night filled with love, generosity, inspiration, and unforgettable moments. Almost 500 incredible supporters came together to celebrate a mission that means the world to us, and we are still overwhelmed with gratitude! ❤️
A very special thank you to Tina Odjaghian, our incredibly inspiring and impactful guest speaker, whose powerful words touched every heart in the room; Steve Vartazarian, our extraordinary live auctioneer, whose charisma, energy, and remarkable generosity inspired an unforgettable outpouring of support for our mission; and Sona Oganesyan, our exceptionally gracious and captivating Master of Ceremonies, who guided us through the evening with such elegance and warmth.
