The RIDGE Project’s Annual Gala

Join us for a celebratory evening of purpose and patriotism at The RIDGE Project’s Annual Gala, where we come together to celebrate family, freedom, and second chances.

This signature event honors the values that strengthen our communities and define our nation; resilience, responsibility, and redemption. Guests will enjoy a welcoming atmosphere filled with meaningful storytelling, moments of inspiration, and plenty of opportunities to connect with others who believe in building brighter futures.

Your presence supports The RIDGE Project’s mission to restore hope, strengthen fathers, and create pathways to lasting stability. Together, we don’t just celebrate progress, we help make it possible.
