Families Forward is hosting its annual “Light Up the Night” fundraising gala to raise funds for programs serving families experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. In an effort to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency, Families Forward offers wraparound services like safe housing, a food pantry, career guidance and mental health counseling. The annual event will be hosted at the Renaissance Newport Beach and will feature a delicious 3-course dinner, an online silent auction, inspirational stories of resilience and extraordinary philanthropic spirit, and live music and dancing.
