The gala is our largest fundraiser of the year and helps to ensure we are able to continue to offer services to the children of our area. It comprises live and silent auctions, raffles and more.  Between 200 and 250 guests attend this annual event to benefit Starved Rock Regional Center.  Our center provides dual purpose services, with both preK/childcare education for kids with and without special needs as well as therapy and development for over 500 children with special needs in LaSalle and Bureau counties. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to live, learn and play in their community, regardless of their abilities.  100% of our donations remail local to ensure the kids in our community are able to receive services when needed.
