Events

Celebrating Community, Connection, and Compassion.

Every event we host is more than a gathering; it’s a powerful act of love and support for the children and adults we serve. When you attend a Little Friends fundraiser, you’re not just buying a ticket or making a donation; you’re helping someone find their voice, gain independence, and feel seen. These moments of connection and generosity ripple outward, changing lives in ways that words can’t fully capture.

Join us throughout the year as we celebrate community, compassion, and the incredible impact we can make, together.
