Later in the day there is a VIP Networking Reception and Silent Auction, followed in 2022 by a Christmas-themed Awards Gala. During the evening, we also present local community members with awards and highlight some of this year’s success stories with live in-person testimonials. This evening’s festivities included a plated dinner and live musical entertainment. In 2022, the lively music was played by X-Factor, the Band. 

Often 100 business leaders, philanthropists, and community organizers attend our annual awards dinner and gala event each year. The Awards Gala is our largest annual fundraiser and directly increases the level of critical assets available to support our community outreach efforts. 

We are already looking for sponsorships to ensure the success of our 2023 event and the First Home Alliance mission. As a community based, HUD-approved housing counseling agency, First Home Alliance served over 1,000 families in FY2021 and more than 16,000 households since its inception in 2002. We are a 501(c) 3 charitable organization.

All donations and proceeds raised from this event will fund our financial education and housing programs. We aim to build strong, vibrant communities by preserving homeownership and improving the financial capabilities of low-to-moderate income and military veteran families.
