Step into the Light Gala

Step into the Light was relaunched this year after a pandemic related hiatus. This year, our annual black-tie optional gala highlighted our televised event, In Harm’s Way.

Planning is already underway for the 2024 gala! If you are interested in being involved with the planning or becoming a sponsor, please contact Michael Beane, Development Manager at (757) 560-7066 or via EMAIL. You may also download sponsorship information HERE.

The Step into the Light gala occurred Saturday, June 10 from 7 pm to 11 pm at The Granby Theater in downtown Norfolk.

The event featured live jazz music, dancing with the B.J. Griffin band, compelling survivor stories, a preview of "In Harm's Way" and a silent auction.

We hope everyone that attended enjoyed themselves. Many thanks to all of our generous sponsors and donors of items for the successful silent auction.
