Reach Gala

Our Reach Gala is a signature event to support Reach and our mission to empower those who are underserved in Montgomery County. This past event'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 celebrated our impact in providing healthcare, eldercare, housing, financial emergency assistance, and English and citizenship education to thousands of County residents annually. The Gala featured 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. Thank you to everyone for your support! We look forward to seeing you next year at our new venue!
