Boys & Girls Aid’s largest fundraising event of the year, the Foster Love Gala invites 300 attendees from throughout the community to join us for a night of dinner, dancing, bidding, and giving in support of children and youth living in Oregon’s foster care system. 

$150 per person | $1,000 for a table of 8 | $1,500 for a Sparkling VIP table of 8

Sparkling VIP tables include eight registrations, complimentary valet parking for one vehicle, access to Sparkling VIP reception at 5:30 p.m. for all table guests, early access to silent auction and raffle, premiere seating, sparkling wine bottle service, and VIP dessert.

All proceeds from the Foster Love Gala benefit the youth and families served by Boys & Girls Aid;

tickets are non-refundable.

There are currently more than 5,000 children living in Oregon’s foster care system without a permanent family. Boys & Girls Aid is committed to connecting these children with stable families who will offer a lifetime of security, guidance, support, and love.

By attending the Foster Love Gala, you are playing a vital role in supporting our efforts to ensure every child in foster care grows up in a family of their own.
