On behalf of the Harry K Foundation, thank you for being part of our 13th Annual Christmas Gala. Your presence, generosity, and support made this year’s celebration truly unforgettable.
To our attendees, sponsors, volunteers, distinguished guests, and partners — we are deeply grateful. Each of you played an essential role in creating an evening filled with warmth, purpose, and community.
At the heart of this gala — and at the heart of everything we do — are the children of Delaware. This night was about far more than celebration. It was about coming together to ensure that children in our community have access to the nourishment they need to grow, learn, and thrive. Because of you, we raised critical funds that will go directly toward feeding children who need it most.
We are once again inspired by the compassion and generosity of this community. Your belief in our mission allows the Harry K Foundation to continue making a real and meaningful impact, especially during the holiday season when the need is greatest.
Thank you for standing with us, for believing in this cause, and for helping us turn an evening of celebration into lasting change.
