Voices of Hope Gala
On Monday, November 16, 2026, we invite you to join us for Voices of Hope, Omega CDC's annual gala, at the beautiful Eichelberger Pavilion at Carillon Historical Park.
Omega CDC's work is rooted in partnership and place. Together with residents, community organizations, businesses, and supporters, we have strengthened educational pathways, empowered families, cultivated leaders, and invested—block by block—in a future grounded in dignity, opportunity, and hope.
Behind every program, every milestone, and every success story is something even more powerful: a voice. The voice of a resident who chose to stay, speak up, and lead. The voice of a young person who dared to dream bigger. The voice of a partner who said "yes" to collective impact. The voice of a donor who believed that lasting change begins within the community.
This year, Voices of Hope is more than a celebration of our work—it is a celebration of the people whose voices are transforming our community. Throughout the evening, guests will experience inspiring stories, powerful moments, and firsthand accounts that demonstrate what is possible when hope is nurtured, voices are amplified, and a community comes together with a shared purpose.
