We are tremendously excited to have them at the helm of this year’s event!

EVENT PROCEEDS
The Inspiring Journeys Gala has helped improve the lives of countless families since it began in 2002.
Thanks to the tremendous partnership of our guests, sponsors, donors, and volunteers, we have steadfastly upheld our mission of serving all families who need us, regardless of financial circumstances.
We are incredibly proud of the impact we have made over the past 80 years: together we have changed thousands of lives for the better! But there is still more work to be done. Every year, more families seek support for their children. Every year, our community relies more heavily on Boyer’s unique, highly specialized care. Every year, the need grows more urgent. On this special night, we will honor our legacy, and look forward to the bright future. We can’t wait to celebrate this inspiring journey together!
