The SARAH Foundation was proud to welcome sponsors, donors, volunteers, community partners, and friends to the 2026 SARAH Gala, Roaring Into the Future, for an unforgettable evening of celebration, inspiration, and generosity in support of SARAH’s mission.

This year’s Gala brought together supporters from across the community to celebrate the life-changing programs and services provided by SARAH while raising critical funds to support individuals living with intellectual and other disabilities and their families throughout our region.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make this year’s Gala such a tremendous success, including our dedicated Gala Committee members, volunteers, staff, auction donors, and guests whose generosity and enthusiasm filled the evening with energy and purpose.

A special thank you goes to our premier sponsor, Bishop’s Orchards Farm Market & Winery, for their outstanding support and longstanding commitment to SARAH’s mission.

We are also incredibly grateful to the volunteers from Ascend Bank, whose support throughout the evening was instrumental to the success of the event. From guest check-in and auction assistance to end-of-night check-out, their professionalism, positivity, and hard work helped ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone in attendance.

The evening’s program focused on the profound impact of SARAH’s residential support services. Guests heard heartfelt and deeply personal stories from guest speakers Beth Kinnare, CEO of SARAH Tuxis, along with Keith Bishop and Todd Kulman, who shared their families’ experiences supporting loved ones with intellectual and other disabilities and the meaningful role SARAH’s residential services now play in their lives. Their stories served as powerful reminders of the importance of compassionate support, independence, and community connection for the individuals and families SARAH serves every day.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, attendees, donors, and supporters, the 2026 SARAH Gala was not only a memorable evening, but also a meaningful investment in the future of SARAH programs and services.

Thank you for helping us continue Roaring Into the Future together.
