Recent data highlights a shocking 15% increase in youth homelessness. Since our inception in 1970, Visions and Pathways has helped over 13,000 vulnerable youth and their families by offering community-based prevention initiatives, and providing shelter, counseling, and life skills training to young adults in our transitional living spaces. We provide a home, support services, training and most importantly hope for the future.

We invite you to join us in supporting our Annual Spark! Gala. On Thursday, October 23rd, 2025 at 6pm, we’ll meet at The Bridgewater Manor to celebrate the community and the work our agency has done during the past 55 years.

We hope you will join us for our largest fundraising event of the year. Here’s how you can get involved:

• Attend the Gala: Purchase a ticket for the opportunity to dance, dine, and celebrate with us for a fun-filled night of giving back to the community.
• Sponsor the Event: Gain exposure to your brand by choosing one of our sponsorship levels or advertising slots.
• Donate a Silent Auction Item: Our event includes a silent auction where participants can bid on gift baskets, jewelry, gift certificates, trips, and more!
• Volunteer: Lend a hand by volunteering at the event.
• Donate: Make a tax-deductible donation to support our cause.

We hope to count you among our supporters and participants at our event this year! For more information, please contact our Strategic Partnership Coordinator, Beth Ochs at eochs@visionsandpathways.org or our Director of Strategic Partnerships, Jennifer Amaya at jamaya@visionsandpathways.org.
