About the Gala

The IMAGINE Fall Auction & Gala is the premier fundraising event for Bridge Meadows. Since its inception in 2005,  the IMAGINE Fall Auction & Gala has raised more than $2 million to sustain and build intentional, intergenerational neighborhoods for former foster youth, parents and elders, building place, permanence and purpose one community at a time.

Why support the Gala?

The Power of Place, Permanence, and a Shared Social Purpose: Working at the intersection of child welfare, affordable housing, health, and aging, Bridge Meadows’ community-driven program of integrated onsite services and therapeutic interventions improves quality of life, health, housing stability and educational attainment for residents at every stage of life. As children move from the instability of foster care to permanent homes and families, they begin to heal. Parents receive essential social support to increase their confidence and efficacy in parenting children who have experienced trauma. Elders combat the deleterious effects of aging and social isolation by serving as honorary grandparents, mentors, and friends, while keeping their bodies fit and their brains engaged. All three generations are building resiliency and demonstrating improved health and wellness.

Your support at the IMAGINE Fall Auction & Gala will make it possible for future generations to benefit from a Bridge Meadows community.
