For 25 years, BEST Kids has believed in the power of one caring adult to help change the course of a young person’s life. This year, we invite you to celebrate that incredible legacy at our 25th Anniversary Heart of the Matter Gala: Celebrating 25 Years of Transforming Lives Through Mentorship.
Join us for an inspiring evening overlooking Washington, DC as we Honor the Past, Celebrate the Present, and Inspire the Future. Together, we’ll recognize the mentors, youth, families, partners, donors, and supporters who have helped BEST Kids provide consistent, long-lasting mentorship to young people throughout our community.
Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring dinner, entertainment, a silent auction showcasing artwork created by BEST Kids youth, a live auction, inspiring stories, and opportunities to support our mission.
But the Heart of the Matter Gala is more than a celebration—it’s an investment in what comes next.
Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and donation made helps BEST Kids continue providing youth with caring mentors, enriching experiences, college and career readiness opportunities, and the support they need to build confidence and thrive.
❤️ Come celebrate 25 years of impact and help us make the next 25 even more powerful.
