Friendship Gala | Erin’s Hope for Friends Annual Celebration

That's a wrap!

The 2026 Gala May Be Over, yet the Connections Continue!

Our 2026 Magic of Friendship Gala has officially come to an end, and what a night it was! We laughed, danced, celebrated, played, and—most importantly—made new friendships of our own. But while the Gala is over, the need continues. Every day, teens, young adults, and adults with ASD Level 1 are looking for meaningful friendships, connection, and a place where they truly belong. Your support helps make those connections possible all year long. The magic doesn’t end when the Gala does—it continues every time a friendship begins. Photos from this incredible evening are coming soon!
