Annual Reach Gala 2025

Join us for our Annual Reach Gala, a signature event to support Community Reach of Montgomery County ("Reach") and our mission to empower those who are underserved in Montgomery County!

This year's theme, "Reach Beyond," denotes our entry into a bold new phase of growth, one where we aim to fulfill our vision of a collaborative community where basic resources and opportunities are accessible to all. This fun-filled evening of food, fellowship, and philanthropy celebrates our impact in providing healthcare, eldercare, supportive housing, financial emergency assistance, and English and citizenship education to thousands of County residents annually. The Gala features a cocktail reception; a seated, three-course dinner; music; live and silent auctions; and opportunities to connect with local business owners, elected officials, community leaders, and others who work collaboratively to uplift our community. We hope to see you there!
