✨ 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. Thank you for sharing your time, talent, and incredible influence to make this evening truly extraordinary!
Deepest gratitude for @taglyancomplex for allowing us to host in the Most beautiful and spacious venue.
A special acknowledgment to the beautiful and talented Louisa Sharamatyan and Nona Melkoni, who set the tone for the evening with an unforgettable opening presentation! ✨
To our phenomenal planning committee — Dr. Agnesa Papazyan, Olympia Megrikyan, Anna Azizyan, Ashleigh Cahn, Marina Agasyan, Emma Massey, Anna Yako, Viri Valdes, Lily Shakaryan, and our incredible producer, Edgar Ayvazyan.
And to every sponsor, vendor, guest, volunteer, and supporter who believes in Walking With Alex Foundation: YOU are the reason our mission continues to grow and our impact continues to reach more children and families.
What began as a dream has become something far greater than we ever imagined. And this is only the beginning! ✨
With endless love and gratitude,
Nina Garayan ❤️

Nearly 500 guests filling that ballroom for a gala is no small feat — the scale of the room really comes through in these shots, and the lighting makes the whole evening feel both grand and warm at once. Nights like this show how a venue can carry a cause, not just host it.
