SUMMARY:Always Home's HEART TO HEART Gala
DESCRIPTION:Always Home’s HEART TO HEART Gala returns June 5 with this year’s “Garden Soirée” theme\, transforming Mystic Marriott Hotel & Spa into an elegant evening dedicated to supporting families facing housing instability across Southeastern Connecticut. Running from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.\, the annual fundraiser blends formal celebration with a deeply personal mission\, bringing together community members\, local supporters\, and advocates for a night centered around compassion\, connection\, and meaningful impact. \nAlways Home’s HEART TO HEART Gala supports Always Home and its work preventing family homelessness through housing support\, financial assistance\, and family stabilization services. The evening’s “Garden Soirée” atmosphere is designed to feel celebratory and welcoming\, with guests enjoying cocktails from the open bar\, a silent auction\, and a three-course gourmet dinner before the night transitions into live music and dancing. Organizers are encouraging attendees to interpret the evening’s attire however they wish\, whether that means black tie\, cocktail wear\, or elegant floral-inspired looks\, emphasizing that support for the mission matters most. \nThe gala has become one of the region’s more prominent nonprofit social events\, combining upscale atmosphere with fundraising that directly impacts local families in crisis. Between the music\, dinner service\, auction items\, and packed ballroom energy\, the night offers more than a traditional fundraiser. It creates a shared sense of purpose among attendees while still delivering the polished feel of a major social event. For guests attending\, the evening serves as both a celebration and a reminder of how community support can create stability and opportunity for families who need it most. \nEvent Highlights\n\nOpen Bar Cocktails\nSilent Auction\nThree-Course Gourmet Dinner\nLive Music and Dancing\nFundraising to Support Family Homelessness Prevention\n\nTicket Information\n\nIndividual Tickets: $175\nPatron and Sponsorship Opportunities Available\n\n
