About the Gala

The Gala of Grace, Presented by BlueShore Financial, is a charitable event that brings together 300+ key figures from our vibrant North Shore community.

As a vital part of our mission, the Gala brings community together to ensure the safety of women and children facing violence. No one should have to face the aftermath of abuse alone, and everyone deserves to feel safe, strong, and hopeful for the future. Join us to stand with women, take action, and help drive real change for survivors of domestic violence.
