Annual Gala & Auction

Since 1991, STRIDE has hosted an annual gala-style dinner dance as a major fundraiser for our programs. The gala has a different theme each year, but always features dinner, dancing, live entertainment, and a premier live auction and silent auction. Past themes have included wine-tasting, Taste of Freedom, Stetsons and Stilettos, Masquerade Ball, and many more.

This year, we will be celebrating 30 Years of STRIDE with a special event … watch for news!! Please keep an eye out for the gala's return in 2015 to celebrate STRIDE's 30th anniversary. We hope you can join us at these events to help support STRIDE!
