Love146’s financial need is critical right now. We’ve decided not to spend resources hosting a gala this year, but we are asking you to invest in this urgent work to end child trafficking, even without the gala. Today, your gift will be doubled by a generous matching donor, which means that every $1 you give is worth $2.

We’re not hosting a Gala this spring. According to my charity-event-planning-math, you’re saving quite a bit here…

And this doesn’t include what Love146 is saving by not doing this event! Would you donate what you would have spent for an event? Every $1 you give right now is worth $2 thanks to a generous matching donor. By donating today, you can have 2x the impact towards preventing child trafficking and caring for survivors.

Hmm? I’ve got questions:

😕 Is there a gala or not? 

No. There is no gala this year. But we hope that people still choose to be generous even without one!   

🤔 Then what is happening on June 21st?

Literally nothing. Not a physical gala. Not a virtual gala. Just relax and do whatever you want (and please donate instead of attending!)

😞 I look forward to the gala. What happened? 

It takes a lot of staff time and resources to make our galas memorable, and we needed a break. Also… the introverts.  

😌 Even if you’re not holding a real gala, can I still contribute? 

Yes! Because we’re not spending money on things like decorations, feeding our guests, and hosting a cocktail hour, 100% of your donation will help combat child trafficking!  

😓 But I’m gonna miss getting a dose of that special Love146 hopefulness up close. Does this mean there won’t be any more of your inspiring galas?
We’re already planning our next gala — a REAL one — in Connecticut in 2025! Be sure to keep an eye on your email for details.

😍 I’m in! How do I give?
