The Gift of Hope 2026 Gala

The Gift of Hope Annual Gala 

Celebrating Vision and Health Equity

Join us for an inspiring evening at the Hope In Sight Gala, hosted by Hands International, on Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the University of Delaware Clayton Hall.

Our Annual Sneaker Ball 

The Gift of Hope, is a heartfelt celebration of the lives transformed through the work of HANDS International. Last year, we focused on restoring sight through cataract surgeries, and thanks to the generosity of our supporters, more than 3,700 individuals received the gift of sight in May 2026—restoring independence, opportunity, and hope to thousands of people and their families.

As we gather this year, we celebrate not only that remarkable achievement but also the impact of our most recent mission trip and the countless lives that continue to be touched through our efforts around the world. Together, we honor the power of compassion, service, and community to create meaningful change.

Your support makes this work possible. By attending, sponsoring, or making a donation, you become part of a mission that brings hope, healing, and opportunity to those who need it most. Thank you for helping us continue to make a lasting difference.

Please note that $70 of each ticket purchase may be considered tax-deductible.
